29th September 2002	John Young John, Melvill was more than likely wearing the 'Indian Pattern' unlined officers' scarlet frock. Coghill was wearing a blue patrol jacket, Bedford cord breeches. If you e-mail me on the above address, I will provide you with photograhs of the two officers wearing, more than likely, the jackets they were actually killed in.
