Why are double-barrelled names not written with a hyphen; why is the apostrophe omitted from such names as O’Brien and why are decorations not shown separately from initials?
The original records were all printed in upper case letters with no punctuation. Naval & Military Press transcribed the names as accurately as possible, but could not always differentiate between a casualty’s initials and decorations. For the website, upper and lower case has been used as it is more aesthetic but the original problem remains.
