John Jenner's History of 3rd & 5th Survey Regiment, R.A., T.A. Bristol, 1968 worked out the numbers in Scotcher's detachment as amounting to 64, but as at the time he was unable to consult the War Diary, and so his approximation is still acceptable as long as it is understood it is only an approximation.
