Corporal Walter Culbertson appears on CWGC as Walther Cuthbertson. His service papers show him as Culbertson, I have raised this with CWGC but have recorded him as Cutherbertson until I hear otherwise.

Name: CUTHBERTSON, WALTER
Initials: W
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Corporal
Service Number: 43372
Regiment/Service: Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), 9th Bn
Date of Death: 3/5/1917
Panel Reference: Bay 6
Memorial: Arras Memorial.

Update: I have now heard from CWGC Enquiries team who have investigated and found that the surname is indeed Culbertson. They say:

"Having investigated this case, I have confirmed your findings that the correct spelling of surname should indeed be Culbertson.

I have therefore amended our internal database to reflect the correct information and this change should replicate on our website within the next 24 hours or so, please feel free to check.

I have also placed a panel amendment request into our works programme which will be assessed by one of our works teams when they are next on site at the Arras Memorial.

If an amendment in situ is possible this will be carried out in due course however if it is not then unfortunately the error will have to remain until that panel is next replaced naturally."

So the correct details are:

Rank: Corporal
Service Number: 43372
Regiment/Service: Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), 9th Bn
