Subject: Did Edward Durnford see Crealocks book?? Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:50 pm
I have heard a number of times that Edward Durnford saw Crealocks Order Book with a copy of the order he sent on the morning of the 22 of January??
Is there any information on this??

Geuss he did
In 1882 Crealock attested under oath to Durnford's brother, Edward, that the message in the notebook was the version taken at daybreak on 22nd by Lt Smith-Dorrien to Durnford.

I have always been suspicious of Edward Durnford and what he says. Mainly because he was hell bent on clearing his brothers name of any wrong doing.
DB14 What is your source.
