90th Roman numerals - use capital i.
Dave Brave Fugitive - all logic and corroboration of events, times and facts. There is no other candidate for the man but Hall. Certainly not Adendorff! Any doubts you do have - I'd be pleased to hear of them and to address them - but perhaps by pm so as not to confuse matters here.

Ray I believe two.
One to Col Glyn not long after the action, and one to Queen Victoria. The one to QV mentions Jenkins telling Chard to duck! The one to Glyn doesn't if that's where you was going with your question. See I do
