NOTE:-
The editor believes that there are major discrepancies and errors in the official report of Major McKay's death.
At the time of this writing (8th May 2009 ) there is a living and very competent eye witness to this tragic incident .
His clear memory of the events can be read by clicking on this link.

The editor feels that is is important for future readers to understand that Officers writing about soldier's deaths would often massage the horrific facts into something a little less painful.
This would appear to have happened here.
