Notes

He appears on the Maheno cemetery war memorial  - though first name given as 'Louis'.

His service record confirms Lewis Hewson Marcks, though the Archway record has his middle name as "Dawson'.

This newspaper report says he died from pneumonia caught on board the troopship Britannic - this was after he had returned from South Africa to Wellington.
