APPENDIX III.
NOMINAL ROLL.
NOTE.--This Roll has been compiled from the battalion's Part II Orders,
and though every effort has been taken to make it accurate, the author
feels that for various reasons--in particular the somewhat scanty
records of the early period of 1914-15--some errors of fact and date
may be present. It is hoped that, as some 4,000 names are recorded,
those who suffer from inaccuracies will accept in extenuation the
magnitude of the task.
It had been intended to give, where applicable, some record of service
done with other units, but it has been found impossible to obtain
a complete record of this, and the Roll in consequence is confined
to details of service, distinctions, etc., in the battalion. This
restriction is the more to be regretted as so many members of the
battalion gained high rank and honours with other units, among them
being Rifleman G. G. Coury, who shortly after obtaining his commission
won the Victoria Cross.
A ✠ has been placed against the name of every officer and man who
was killed in action or died of wounds or disease.
