Notes
Son of Frederick Henderson Longhurst. Cause 'Infantile Diarrhoea' confirmed from high-resolution photograph of page T49. Kae Lewis's church-memorial database independently records his parents as 'Frederick Herdman Longhurst' and 'Lilian Charlotte' (née Baker, daughter of Major General Baker and Edith) — matching the FIBIS headstone reading of 'Herdman' and resolving the discrepancy against this entry's earlier 'Sherborne'/'Henderson' readings in favour of Herdman. Both parents are separately commemorated on their own memorial inside St Stephen's Church.
