There is no denying the entry in the register of the CWGC which places Pte Joseph Rollo with the RAMC.
However, the burial register records Joseph Rollo as an Acting Sgt aged 33 years of 3rd Coy RA who was buried at Pieta on 5 July. Did the padre make a mistake or was Rollo attached to the Royal Artillery when he died?
