Note: In the May 1915 Parish Magazine, another Pattenden, P. H. Pattenden, is listed as serving in the 5th East Surrey (Territorials)

The attribution Royal Flying Corps may be an anomaly as the Royal Air Force came into being on 1 April 1918; however John Pattenden's service may have ended before that date.
