Supplementary NotesIt was previously believed Hanger had been killed in action on 23 March 1918 serving with 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers and was commemorated on the Pozieres Memorial. It is now accepted that this is a discrepency and that this casualty is another individual. The footballer lived into old age and died on 2 March 1966.
