Do you have any more information about him, Tinkerbe? (afraid I don't know much about uniforms and there are a few possibles on the CWGC site)

I was thinking more along the lines of there being none to choose from on the CWGC site as the only Philip was in the RN.

There's Percy Philpot Armstrong but now I see he was navy too.

W P Armstrong Lance Corporal in the Lancashire Fusiliers died 29th Sep 1918. His middle name could be Philip?

Just looked on FMP at Soldiers who died in WW1. No Philip Armstrong there either.

I found a Philip Armstrong in the military records on Ancestry but he was demobbed, so not killed in action.
