The records of the lodge at United Grand Lodge show recorded "Lost at Sea 15 February 1914", which is erroneous as it shows dues paid to 1915 and the entry perhaps relating to 1916. Probate confirms this.
The Lodge Summons for 19th April 1921 gives the following detail: In Fraternal Remembrance of our Glorious Dead: Bro. J.A. Border, Chief Engineer, Perished through enemy action about 15th February 1916.
