Algar BENTON (alias Joseph BLAKE)

Recorded by the Rector in his list of parishioners in 1915, as follows. "Algar Benton (alias Joseph Blake). He was living with Mr & Mrs Sallis-Walker, 3 (asserted) adopted children named Bidwell, and William Cawthorn at Coldharbour Farm". It seems possible that he was enlisted under his other name.
