Ah, but the fun part is, we will likely never know for sure. Best bet is to find the 17th's Ordnance records, if they exist, and see if they can tell you anything. Good luck.
Yep... it's looking more and more like that's going to be the only way to solve this mystery once and for all. Thanks very much for your input.
