An email arrived from Lt Col Roger J Binks, Scottish National War Memorial , the Castle , Edinburgh replying to my query of 9th May 2013 and he reports:
"I now have a result and confirmation that the date of death was 11th JUNE 2009 . This date is on the headstone and as shown in the SNWM Roll . I am advised that the VETERANS UK ROLL OF HONOUR will be corrected very soon , so as to be visible on line by the end of JUNE 2013. I pass on thanks from the VETERANS AGENCY for helping correct that error "
etc Roger J Binks SNWM
