    Thank you Peter. I was asking because I could not find Tremblay in the CWGC database at first. But now I know why: his initials were not E P G but P Y C. His first names were Pierre Yves Camille.

    Seems it were not only your glasses to blame, Peter. His initials weren't mentioned correctly at the Runnymede either.
