Suffice it to say that to-day (6 October 1915) it remains unknown. Whether an Army List has been published this year seems doubtful, and on the whole unlikely; and no Army List later than 1909 has been so far accessible. Such few inquiries as have up to now been made have drawn blank. [See, however, three pages further on.]
Later Information
On 10 October Mrs. Kennedy, alone, had some automatic writing as follows:—
Mother, Paul is bringing Raymond. I have him here; he will speak to you....
"Please listen carefully now I want to speak to you about Norman. There is a special meaning to that because we always called my brother Alec Norman, the (muddle ...)."
(K. K. said that she couldn't get the rest clearly.)
On 12 October we had a sitting with Mrs. Leonard, K. K. also present, and I said to 'Raymond':—
Do you want to say anything more about that name 'Norman'? You gave a message about it to Mrs. Kennedy, but I don't know whether she got it clearly. Perhaps you want to amplify it? If so, now is your chance. (The reply spelt out was:—)
I told her that I called Lionel.
