He was in the "5th Battalion (Territorial Forces)" technically but spent a lot of the war attached to the 2nd Battalion - which he was with when he was awarded his MC and when he was killed.
He actually enlisted in the "Artists Rifles" but that unit mostly served as an Officer training unit during the war, although it was technically a Territorial Forces Infantry Battalion.
