I have removed the title "Lieut-Col" for the following reasons:

1. I dislike all abbreviations - they are non-standard (Lt.-Col., Lt-Col, Lieut-Col etc.), sometimes vary per country (United States: pte UK: pvt for Private)

2. I use wikipedia as a trusted source [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Dent Sir Francis Henry Dent, CVO] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieutenant_colonel_%28United_Kingdom%29 Lieutenant colonel (Lt Col) (United Kingdom)]

3. While I haven't checked for a military record, there appears to be no official record of his or news reporting use of a title "Lieut-Col" before the "Sir".
