However, there seems to be some evidence to suggest that Crosbie's conviction was a miscarriage of justice. The present "narrative", apparently put into print by Sir Edward's family and friends, certainly raises considerable doubt as to Crosbie's culpability. Crosbie's younger brother, Richard, was Ireland's first balloonist.

* An impressive group to Captain Walter Beale Cornock, Gloucestershire Yeomanry who famously quoted “I would rather die a man's death, than have to feel that I had failed to go through with it or taken a cowardly advantage of a chance to get out of it. Not that I expect to be killed, I have every hope of coming through, providence has been very good to me thus far, thankfully I don't mind much either way. I think we are unnecessarily afraid of death - I'm only worried because of the pain it would cause to all you at home”1914-15 Star (1906 Pte W.B. Cornock.

The Turks were about 100 yards away. I found it very exciting, interesting but they were well dug in, once seldom got a chance of a target. There were many dead bodies between the two lines, they smelt- the flies were very trying, masses of them fierce biting things whilst centipedes and scorpions in the trenches were minor evils”.Moving to the Western Front he writes of Vimy “Next day the 5th we got hell, heavily shelled all day. The enemy seemed to have the trenches taped. Their aeroplanes come up and down the lines, our planes are conspicuous by their absence, we had not achieved air supremacy in those days. The support from the Canadian Artillery behind us was lamentable, they seemed to be firing all the dud stuff. Walking up the trench I found two men buried, one man’s head lying in the trench, severed clean from the body. With the help of sergeant Whittacre I got one of the buried men out alive, the other was dead, we had many casualties and were very demoralized” many pages supported by snaps shot size photographsA huge family archive including 8 manuscript memoirs by his father A.W. Beale dated 1891 but recollecting various historic occasions for example a visit with his father to St James Park. His father would often take him to see the changing of the guard and for long walks, Beale takes up the story “I remember an incident which though it made little impression on me then I have always been proud of since - The Duke of Wellington was riding down St James Street, saluted by everyone high and low and mechanically returning their salutes when he seemed suddenly to see my father and instead of merely saluting him in the same fashion he rode up to where we were standing and stooped down shaking hands and stayed some time taking with my father and was this not talked of among the soldiers it flew all over London and whenever Father and I went to any of the Barracks after this which we so often did he seemed to be received with double respect. Father showed me a wound in his right breast and side where a bullet had gone through him at the Battle of Waterloo and told me that he never knew he was wounded the excitement of battle being so great till the Duke of Wellington cried out Lieutenant Beale you are wounded.” He went on to recount an incident that in his mind was the finest exemplification of true courage that he could imagine - “that a soldier in the ranks whispered to another while the Duke was passing in front of them and just about to enter into an engagement with the enemy - Comrade the Duke looks pale and frightened at which the Dule turned round and retorted - yes my man and the Duke feels so frightened so much that many of you men would not dare to be here if they felt as he does”.
