Barry Foster
He's in this for a very short time, but since he is a despatch rider I would assume that he should be billed on IMDb as "DR", and not "Don R"! After all, we never do hear his name.

shareAh, there's an answer to this. "Don R" was (perhaps still is) British Army shorthand for a Despatch Rider. The 1958 audience would have been familiar with this, and no doubt that's why Foster is billed as this in the credits.
