Could there have been an error in the inscription on the memorial? I have put some details of St Cyprian's minute books and a history of he church on the original posting, in case anyone has time to look in LRO for anything about the memorial.

What was the absolute oldest they were accepted, are we sure we can rule out the father?

Definitely not the father, he corresponded with the military in 1918 after his sons death and was a civilian at that time.

Any sign of a cousin?
