Additional information and photographs:
In 1923 the Board of Trade War Memorial Committee considered a request from W M Cater's mother to record him on the Roll
of Honour as "Paul" Cater on the grounds that this was the name by which her son was familiarly known to all his friends.
The Committee were unable to agree to this. (Board of Trade Roll of Honour, PRO, BT 13/107/16 E41852)
