Hugh,
Just in case you do not have a list of forfeitures by name, Dunn is not on it! *Skirt chasing would not seem to qualify as 'disgraceful'. *If being ineffective as a senior officer were grounds for forfeiture Buller would not have retained his VC and I am sure there would have been other candidates!

There is in fact only one officer amongst the eight forfeitures (he of the disgraceful conduct), one sergeant, five privates and a gunner.

Good luck finding a copy of Crook. *As you may have guessed I keep mine handy. *Picked it up mail order many years ago from a military book dealer in England.
