Not got any more info on him.

Had a look on ancestry no papers, just his MiC

I'm no expert on the Cheshire yeomanry, but his original service number 1388 may yield some info

Perhaps others can help.

The 74th Division had carried out an attack near Ronssoy on the 21st Sept. , the leading battalions failed to clear a strong post know as the "Quadrilateral". The 10/K.S.L.I. were ordered to clear it out, they were met with severe opposition, and suffered many casualties. The battalion rallied and tried again during the early hours of the 22nd, capturing the strong point.
