The UK Roll of Honour 1939-45 records Patrick's surname (incorrectly) as Hefferwan and indicates that he was born in Surrey and living in Surrey at the time of his enlistment with the Grenadier Guards. He is buried in Uden War Cemetery in the Netherlands, grave reference 3.I.5. The War Graves Photographic Project holds a photograph of his grave.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
