Criteria

[edit]
  • It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • Some inconsistency in style with "First World War" vs "World War I"
    • "...before being raised as a Militia formation in 1921...", wikilink Militia here
    • Is there a missing word here: "... being from camps in North Africa to Italy and then later Germany..."?
    • Repetitive wording: "several managed to escape either in North Africa, or from Italy, with several..." ("several" x 2 in same sentence)
    • Repetitive wording: "... advance on Finschhafen, during which the 2/15th advanced..." ("advanced" x 2)
    • Is there a missing word here: "... up to brigade level exercises was re-constituted for its next campaign..." ("was re-constituted"?)
    • Missing word here too I think: "... the 2/15th subsequently moved inland and patrolling operations..."
    • "During these patrols there were numerous contacts..." - I wonder if some readers won't know what "contacts" means in this instance? Perhaps clarify?
