There are about 35 pages on ancestory showing him to be a very colourful character who was due to face 8 years of prison for being arrested so many times for different offences.The research also shows that his medals were sent to his wife by accident who lived in Great Harwood and then reclaimed and sent to his mother.

He was originally born in Britannia (Bacup) and enlisted in Pontefract. He is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.
