His address is given as Elizabeth Cottage, Lea Valley, and his bride's (Phoebe Nora Jackson) as 60 Southwold Rd (Hackney).
That address (60 Southwold Rd) and the army service number in Elizabeth's last post (354718)are on this pension record on Ancestry:

It states he had served in France and Belgium for 2 years and 4 months before being wounded by small arms ammunition on 14 Apr 1917. He was treated at number 4 Stationary Hospital (at Arques, Pas-de-Calais, France) and then at a war hospital in Halifax called St Luke's. The bullet perforated his liver and he was in hospital for 3 months.
