Hello Reg,
After searching Find my Past and the IWM Lives of the 1st World War, I came across the following Memorial to 3 Soldiers who died in WW1, Joseph Naylor, Killed in action 25th July 1916, Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
The Memorial plaque is situated on the North wall of the Nave in All Saints Church, Yew Tree Lane, Bradley, Derbyshire, DE6-1PG, (WMR 14428).
Memorial which lists Joseph Naylor (double click the photograph to enlarge in a new page) again if you have already seen this, please accept my apologies
Best wishes
Andrzej

Wow! Sincere thanks ! All but the medal card are new documents to me and to my regret I've never actually visited the memorial plaque in Bradley church, he is also on a memorial in the next village too which seems rare. I appreciate the interest in this now, rather old thread and the new details.
Thank you again í ½í¸ƒ
