Improvements can be made[edit]

I recently added a reference to the article. There is a lot of information from that source that could be incorporated into the article. I'm sure there are other useful sources as well. Psych less 03:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Detail on earlier Civil War activities[edit]

Because account of his Civil War activities appeared to abruptly start with his participation at the battle of St Neot's, I have tried to account for his earlier times in the wars more fully with detail cited to his History of Parliament biography. However there still appears to be a gap for which further fill in detail would be welcome between his becoming royalist General and his arrival in St Neot's.Cloptonson (talk) 13:01, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of St Neot's detail[edit]

There is so much detail about the Battle of St Neot's that it would lend itself to a creation of a separate article, which would unburden this page of detail extraneous to Holland's biography.Cloptonson (talk) 14:05, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now rewritten, content moved to separate article. Robinvp11 (talk) 19:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
