Thank you all for your interest. i had hoped that someone would have some specific knowledge , but it appears everyone is chasing down lines I had already followed.

I am forced to the conclusion that the journalist who wrote the obituary had 'grasped the wrong end of the stick' and gone to print with out checking, The article contains other factual errors including that its subject became Dalhousie's batman after demobilisation.

It is easy to see how a remark like 'We ran around like Blundell's greyhounds" could be misconstrued after several verbal transmissions.

Thanks again to everyone for their interest.
