Default Identity of 8th Hussars crew-Besanigo Ridge

Gentlemen:

I am certain one of you wizards will be able to sort this out for me:


In Dancock's D-DAY DODGERS, the author identifies one of the 8th Hussars tank crew trapped in the Besanigo River bed in early Sept/44 (Coriano Ridge fighting) as SERGEANT KEITH FRASER.


Mark Zuehlke's book THE GOTHIC LINE names the same NCO as SERGEANT KEITH FISHER.

I want to make certain that I correctly identify the sergeant, who was decorated for remaining with two other wounded Hussars until rescued by the Perths on 09 Sept/44.

I was unable to find mention of this anecdote anywhere else.

Would appreciate help with this.

Cheers
