Anne,
I recognise the name:
Mark (dhubthaigh) highlighted that this man was missing from the CWGC database a couple of years ago.
He's the man to ask.

Thanks Guys.
George McDonald keeps re-surfacing because we keep finding references to him all over the place - except on CWGC of course!
Don't shoot the messenger!  |
