Title: PRIVATE GEORGE ELLISON - IMAGE (CWGC - 'Road to Peace') - Erratum/Correction

Description: CWGC 'Road to Peace - 11 on the 11th' Re: Photo of George = "It was brought to our attention that a photograph we used purporting to be George Ellison was erroneously attributed, and was not an image of George. As it was a crowd-sourced image we had sought usage permission, which was granted by the original contributor who believed the portrait to be Private Ellison. But we were unable to independently verify the image, and since we have been made aware of the problem the image has now been removed by its uploader. We are very grateful to several members of the public who alerted us to this issue."
