The CWGC lists give his name as Glendenning whilst in the Enlistment book and and census returns and on the gravestone it is Glendinning. Joseph Brydon Glendinning was born in 1895 at Barrington Colliery, one of two children to William and Isabella Glendinning. In 1911 the family were living at 3, Hastings Street, Hartford Colliery, but by the time of Joseph's enlistment they had moved to 129, Rosalind Street, Hirst, Ashington.
He is remembered in Ashington on A17.43
His name is given as "Glendenning" on the CWGC entry.
