Orr and Hollings[edit]

'This was the last time any of the survivors had contact with Hollings or Orr and what happened to them is not known. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records that an Abraham Opoczynski (Orr's real name), attached to the SOE was killed on 12 April 1945.' - I still have a concern with this sentence. The citation only covers that Orr died. I'm not entirely convinced that this is good enough to convine me that the Orr of Aquatint is the same guy as the Orr who died in April 1945, as Orr could be quite a common name, but I'll stay neutral on that. However, is there a citation for 'This was the last time any of the survivors had contact with Hollings or Orr and what happened to them is not known.'? It should also be noted that the two sentences are contradictory; it says what happened to Orr is unknown, then that the CWGC Orr died in April 1945. Skinny87 (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
