The names of Liuetenants Christopher Hartley RFA and Edmund Hartley 2nd Bn Lancashire Fusiliers, appear on six WW1 memorials:- The Knorr (Preparatory School),Harrow School, their respective Oxford Colleges ( Merton and Brasenose, respectively) a commemorative plaque in St Anne's church Fence, on the Fence and Wheatley Lane Memorial and a commemorative window that was placed in St Mary's church Nelson, built by their maternal grandfather.
Is this a record for non general staff.?

I have a private soldier commemorated on 10 memorials and rolls of honour in the local area, yet his death is unrecognisd by CWGC. He was a reservist, called up early, and killed at First Ypres.

I forgot that the harleys were also commemorated on there headstones in Ypres Reservoir Cemetery and Mont-Bernanchon British Military Cemetery, Gonnehemp.
So six becomes seven.
