Source table
Gunner Rogan does not appear to have been included in the list of names in the memorial booklet or on the memorial anti-tank gun relating to 125th Regiment. This may be due to the fact that he had been transferred from 74th to 125th Field Regiment shortly before his death, with other Immatures and less fit men, before the first-line Regiment was sent overseas.
