Methinks that Capt. Laidler’s point is the official history and the actual one may be different. I find it kind of hard to believe given what has been dug up from official sources, but at the same time I find it hard to doubt Captain Laidler, who is one of the best primary sources we have and is as close to the internal working of Commonwealth ordnance would not be in possession of the “real story”.

Quite confusing, but then again I have a hard time understanding how a train could be late when the schedule clearly says it will be in the Bahnhof at 2:15 and yet at 2:17 the train has not arrived.
