just thinking a bit more about it

SDGW does gives F&F as the area, probably means he went out there. the MIC should ( but doesn't always) give the date of entry

annie

i'm playing devils advocate to a degree here,

but would a man that badly wounded be shipped back to england within two days of the start of the battle?

the whole army was in retreat and near chaos

Kev

both in kent  ( i think) good shout, the battalion was based around the area



we're all guessing to some degree :) some pretty damn good work there folks..kev ,  two custard creams tonight.  Annie..a rich tea and garibaldi

myself..an expresso and a small cigar ;D
