Can you decipher this surname?

[ShowOfHands]

A friend and I were looking at some graffiti today and couldn't decide what this says. Any ideas?

Private A something

Starts with D and ends in G. Can't tell the rest x

Disney?!

Pte. A Disney is my best attempt.

D... nery

I know it's Pte A something. It's the surname.

Dusnig? Durney? Disney? Dusney?

I also think Disney

If people must deface an English Heritage property, I wish they'd practise proper penmanship.

Dusney.

Try taking a rubbing?

Private A Dusney

Dirsney or Dirsnay

Pte A Dinsnig

Pte A Dusnig.

That is actually a surname - not sure about any of the others except Disney, obviously, but I don’t think it’s that. I’m sure the last letter is a g and the second is not an i.

Dinsney

There’s a village near Lincoln called norton Disney and sometimes it’s spelt D’isney
Maybe a variation?

I agree, it's Dinsney or Disney.

Dearing? Definitely a name - I worked with one.

Private A. Dusney.

Danzig.

Drising?

Dusrieg

Dusney

This is what the carving looks like

There's graffiti from an ancestor of Walt Disney at Warwick castle, so could be Disney - i think it was civil war, so unlikely to be Pte Disney for the one there
