Lord Chelmsford Said .Buller is ‘one of the finest soldiers of the century’, so modest and reticent –that it was difficult to say for what individual deed he had got the Victoria Cross as he had been doing acts worthy of it all along the line

you are heading down a dangerous path - imagine the cost of collecting medals associated with past or present gooners -
I think I will stick to my collecting priorities..
just for a laugh I opened pages at random on the Dutton roll and came up with
2198 Dixon 1/13th 3382 W Young 3/60th 437 Henry 88th etc
.. might struggle with Van Persie (maybe in the colonials) or Viera - but I reckon you could make up a pretty good team. Something to do for those dark winter evenings :lol:

van Persie is now a Man U player, however, a good Dutch name should not be too hard to find in the SA colonial units!
From the 24th roll we have:
Sub Lt Campbell, 2003 Adams lots of Davis 2781 Graham 1447 Hayes 128 McDonald 692 Rice and 1768 Wright
Agreed, better give it a miss - an expensive hobby it would be :lol:

well maybe at least we can recreate the famous back four _ i am sure we can find a Winterburn and a Bould - obviously if we want to add a goalie the naval rolls would provide a rich source of Seamen :lol:

I did look SD, couldn't find them. Couldn't find a Rocky Rocastle or an Overmars either, but you never know! :lol:
