  2. ^ His obituary in The Times gives his date of birth as 10 November 1910 but conflicts with the birthdate given in his death registration. His year of birth appears as 1908, 1910, 1912 and 1913 in various sources. However online records at [1] show that the birth of an Arthur E Mullord was registered in Islington in October–December 1910, which is probably him.
