In my copy opposite page 117 is a picture of no 3 Coy 4th Btn Coldstream Gds but the names are not all shown. I believe that later copies have the names  - any one have them ?

cheers

My version of the book published in 2000, says
"Officers and NCOs of No 3 Company, 4th Battalion, Coldstream Guards, Front row, left to right: W Brourton, DS Lumsden, "
Blacker is the next officer in the front row.  The fact that there is a comma after Lumsden's name gives the impression that other names were to be added in.

You could try contacting Pen & Sword, the publishers, to see if there were additional names in later editions or whether the names had been "missed off in error" in the 2000 edition.

your copy is the same as mine - I did ask the author once but dont recall what the reply was apart from that the names should all have been listed

Mine is the Pen and Sword edition so the same, no others identified.
