The person who contributed this roll of honour lists only one man.
Pte. Edwin Clapham 63896 18th Lancashire Fusiliers
The chapel in High Bentham, in the Pennines, is still in use and contains a memorial to the ten men associated with the chapel who died in the war, as this image shows. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/warmemorials/wesleyan-methodist-church-high-bentham-t5102.html
Some further details of nine of them may be found here. The reason why there are none for H. Smith is not hard to imagine. There seems no obvious reason why these names were not sent to Catterick.
