Harold Halliwell, onetime a member of the Royal Field Artillery, was born at Rotherhithe and enlisted at Woolwich.

Although listed as ‘died’ on the published roll, his MIC entry states ‘death presumed’, thereby confirming that he was actually posted missing and killed in action. He was serving in the 12/13th Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers at the time and is commemorated on the Pozieres Memorial; photographs of the relevant panel are included.
