? Caption and various lists have some confusion, notably with the various 'Smiths'. In Jennifer Ingham's "
Defence Not Defiance: A History Of The Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps", from which this captiuon is taken, a list of the members of both BVRC contingents shows:

Rfn.      Smith, A.G.    Returned to Bermuda, 2/5/19.
Rfn.      Smith, G.G.    Killed in action, 30/9/16.
Rfn.      Smith, G.A.** Returned to Bermuda.
C.S.M.  Smith, J.S. ** Returned to Bermuda, 2/5/19.
Rfn.      Smith, K.N.     KIlled in action, 10/10/15.
Rfn.      Smith, P.A.     Discharged. Returned to Bermuda, 5/11/18.

The Royal Gazette, on Saturday, 8 May, 1915, recorded the departure of the Contingent for the Front, printing a list of members, by Parish, including:
