2/Lt James Lewis/Louis Riley King's Liverpool - confusing middle name

[davidbohl]

Manchester schoolteacher  2/Lt James Lewis/Louis Riley of the King's Liverpool Regt is on the CWGC as Louis.

I think he was born 1894, Prestwich as Lewis and is gazetted similarly.

Confusingly his MIC is indexed as Lewis but Louis on the actual card.

 

Can anybody find a logical reason for this please ?

Thanks

Dave
