Read this in work today, the first thing that struck me was how such a famous battle with so few British soldiers involved could have 'lost' details of some those who took part!

Good to see he has been recognised after all this time, but I agree with Colonel Tubby that it is amazing anyone could have been missed and that there may still be 15 other names possibly missing from the list.
