NOTE: There is a discrepancy between the gravestone and the War Memorial which lists BUNCLARK, T. However the CWGC database has no data for a T. BUNCLARK. Neither the 1901 nor 1891 census list a T. BUNCLARK. The 1901 census does not list a John BUNCLARK of the correct age. The 1891 census has William John BUNCLARK who would be of the correct age.
