Hi Graham,

All three - Coates, Harrison and Duffy - were already in the No.10 (IA) Cdo Nominal Roll.
I have now added Pte R Duffy's number and regiment.

Thanks,

Nick

Thanks pete.

Strangely enough I found his name on the 3 troop ROH. I have now created a biography page for him and amended it to show HQ troop.

Thanks for this Graham.

Additionally the CWGC show his death as the 11th rather than the 12th. I have used their date of death at this stage.
