Name

From the way his name is listed in the London GAzette, it would appear his surname was Bruce-Mitford, rather Bruce being a middlename, but this doesn't seem to square with the Who Was Who and Times obit. David Underdown (talk) 17:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Times obit says that he was the son of C. E. Bruce Mitford, but refers to him as "Mitford" throughout. Bencherlite ^Talk 17:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should we at least acknowledge the variance in the sources, at elast iwth a footnote, and maybe create redirects from the alternative form? David Underdown (talk) 18:43, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
