The above soldier is recorded on CWGC as Charles Hamilton Anderson.

His correct name is Claude Hamilton Anderson. I have sent all documentary proof to TerryD.

On Ancestry they have this Soldier recorded as being with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

It does state on his Medal card K.O.S.B, I can't send error reported in can some kind person do this for me.

And how on earth did they manage to get Everton from 'Switzerland, Yverdon'? Lazy guesswork? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yverdon-les-Bains
Another correction? Or already done?
