Which is correct ?

Alex
The first volume of my 'For Your Tomorrow' records Kean's first name incorrectly as Earl, as did the CWGC register at that time. In 2003 I had occasion to have his name checked with Births, Deaths and Marriages in New Zealand. This confirmed that the correct spelling was Erl, which information was passed on to the CWGC authorities who in turn corrected their records.
