And there is also this who may be a relative (nothing to do with the Kilmarnock Memorial):

SNWM - Surname HAPPELL

Date of Death: 13/08/1916
Age: 30

Awards: M M
Grave Reference: VIII. K. 25.
Cemetery: CATERPILLAR VALLEY CEMETERY, LONGUEVAL
Additional Information:

James Happell is listed at Dailly.
...................................................................

Given the spelling on the Kilmarnock Panel (Happell) and the Dailly connection for both differently spelled surnames it appears to me that the Kilmarnock inscription is referring to the soldier the army records identify as William HAPPLE, Pte. 19021 RSF as above.

Maybe there is more information in newspaper accounts of the time to clear this up?
