Here is another possible Non-Comm., from: Grimsby Roll of Honour, 1914 - 1919

R.N.R. and R.N.R.T. Section...Ratings.......George William Peacock

I cannot find him on the CWGC Debt of Honour Register.

This is what I’ve found:

1911 Census: 63 Daubney St Cleethorpes Lincolnshire

PEACOCK, George William, (Post Office Messenger), Grandson (of Head: Sarah Wright), aged 15 b1896 Aberdeen Scotland.

Mother Sarah Mills (Formerly Peacock - maiden name Wright)

He died 28 May 1915. He is buried in Grimsby (Scartho Road) Cemetery

Section: 34, Row: E, Grave: 8, Any grave marker there might have been, no longer exists.

This is his DC:
