Havist Road Council School, Queen’s Park, W.; killed in action at Festubert, 24 May, 1915; unm. Buried on the field of battle. A comrade wrote he “was shot through the head and died instantly. Stan had to lie with several others behind a ridge to keep the gentlemen in grey from becoming too troublesome, and while there was sniped. I can only say that he died doing his duty and none of us can do more.”
