The soldier's full name was James Mustard.
He died in 1916, enabling you to alter the clip's current date range of 1914-18.
The location is not Highgate Cemetery, but Twickenham Cemetery.
Cutting the date of this piece down still further, Mr Mustard died on 4 February 1916, meaning this footage can safely be said to be from February 1916.
Details of Mr Mustard's exploits are here......
