Rev Smith, John Cantwell, Francis Attwood, Alfred Saxty, William Cooper, Caleb Wood - sorry lads no.

Who mentioned David Jenkins. He was originally missed of the roll.

 

[mick3272]

David Jenkins was originally missed off the Roll but his Great Grandson recognised him in a sketch by Lady Butler some 130 yrs after the event. He appears in her picture and I understand the family still have the Bible that was given to all participants.

Sorry Mick - David Jenkins NO. But it was great to see him eventually recognised and restored to the roll.

Clue time....he was small in stature but ferocious in the fight, one of his initials was T, but, I'm not going to tell you if that T in first name of surname.
