LAMB, JOHN HULME 32
GRO Reference: 1916 S Quarter in STEYNING Volume 02B Page 301

Right name, and it certainly fits the DOD posted by Ann above.

If he died in a hospital, perhaps the informant didn't know his exact age.

As already said, he doesn't appear on the CWGC site because he wasn't a serving soldier at the time of death.

Thank you lancashireAnn that makes sense.
Argyllgran - that is the death entry I saw so I think I may send for the death cert. just to check.
Many thanks to all who responded.
