Hi Allen.

Are you sure he was in the West Yorkshire Regiment?

The cap badge looks very similar to the East Yorkshire Regiment, also, Soldiers Died indicates a draft of men, 650** prefix, from the latter.

Is this his M.I.C.Roll entry?

Hi Allen, this could be of intrest, My Great uncle 60282 Pte Charles Osgothorpe

was in the East Yorks but later transfered to the Northhumberland Fusilers.

He was from Bourne in Lincolnshire and died on the 11 April 1918 at Ypers

and is on the PLOEGSTEERT MEMORIAL there could be a link to your granddad

Cheers Steve
