Suggestion/comment

[edit]

Good work on this article. I only have one query: was Lambe involved in any battles during the First World War? If so, they should probably be mentioned. If not, it might make sense just to say something like this (or something similar): "...he remained with her until the end of the First World War but did not take part in any major actions." Just a suggestion and certainly not a warstopper to leave it out if the sources don't say. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:46, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ODNB says "he was a midshipman in the battleship Emperor of India from 1917 until the end of the First World War" whereas Heathcote simply says "he remained there until the end of hostilities in November 1918". It would be tempting to say "he did not take part in any major actions" and I think that is likly to be the truth - but the sources don't say either way. Best wishes.
