I'd be amazed if that's not the man that SImon has found. Why he was confused as a Lancer I don't know - perhaps he was wearing a military uniform at the time and as he was found amongst the lancers and that is where the confusion set in. Nicely explains why the army have no record of a soldier of that name dying. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
