"was a British soldier" Surely he was Scottish or English at that time? Rich Farmbrough 21:16, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note: I've redirected a link to the disambiguation page for "British" above, to reduce crowding in the first level of links on the "What links here" page for that article. Cheers! -- BD2412 ^talk 21:08, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

Name![edit]

A section on the subject’s surname, Urry/Hurry, would seem appropriate! Usage *within* the article favors Hurry - in conflict with its *title*! Articles linking to it are apt to show corresponding confusion!

The H- usage in sources may well be explainable as hyper-correctness, and/or as conveniently distinguishing son from father. I wonder, though, if there was also an ethnic / national tinge to the choice, in relation to this obviously controversial figure? The name as it evidently came to him from his father, Urry, has (to my eye) an obviously Scots look; somehow /Hurry/ seems (me again) equally emphatically English.
