Thanks Berenice.

Cleeve/Cleave - also CIV memorial in this church
Levitt - also on memorial at the Central Synagogue, Marylebone - just done the road

Morse & Prior - cannot locate on medal rolls (Ancestry index) or Soldier's Effects - if the details are not completely wrong, then it suggests they died in the UK prior to embarking for active service. But, more research needed.

Yes, I have the Cleave memorial, waiting to be posted..

Damn! I visited the Central Synagogue a few years ago, but wasn't aware there was an ABW memorial there. Gives me an excuse to go back for a few more photos.
