    • Occupation: 1911, cotton merchant, Aubonne House, Kersal, Manchester (Chaterhouse alumni listing); Shipper/buyer. It is unclear if he was running his father's firm, A Agelasto and Co., which was still in operation in 1910 and while he was at war [A. Agelasto and Co., 78 George St., donations: £15 to aid families affected by the Bolton coal mine disaster (Manchester Guardian, 31 Dec 1910, p 6); £50 to the war relief fund (Manchester Guardian, 8 Sep 1914, p 7); £10 to the Manchester Armenian Relief Fund (Manchester Guardian, 8 Jan 1916, p 1)].
    • WWI record: 2nd Lieutenant on 15 Aug 1914, medically discharged after 1 year 10 months service. Joined the 8th (Ardwick) Batt, Manchester Regiment, 42 division, on the outbreak of WWI. He served very briefly in Galipoli, was wounded, and shipped home from Mudros on the Dominion Liner hospital Ship Canada on 24 Aug 1915 having only arrived on 31 Jul 1915. He was vomiting blood. A Military Medical Board at the War Office on 17 Aug 1916 found he was suffering from appendicitis, syphilis and marked flat feet with hammer toes (not examined when he obtained a Commission). His medical discharge noted "trench feet" and that he "still has neurasthealmic symptoms [shell shock];" he was discharged from the Army with wounds in 1916. [6]

The newspaper gives his initial(s) as A.N., A. and J., respectively.
