The above soldier is recorded on his medal card as Sydney A Cochran

His birth Registration has him as:-

Births Dec 1894
COCHRAN
Arthur Sydney
W. Derby 8b 562

The 1910+1 has him as..
COCHRAN, Sydney Son 17 1894 Assistant Grocery - Liverpool

But the same man in 1901 is listed as...
COCHRAN, Arthur S Son 6 1895 - Liverpool.

Maybe he preferred Sydney?

Maybe DS.

If a family member was looking for him as Arthur Sydney Cochran they would not find him so he is under both spellings in the data base.
