WP:Mil Hist Assessment Commentary[edit]

This is really a B-class article. The only thing holding it back is an infobox. Add that, and I'll be happy to come back with a B-class rating. Boneyard90 (talk) 01:43, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox added, although the amount of blanks and incomplete dates serves to remind me that there's a lot left to go in! Thanks to all who helped get this article into DYK. danno 17:33, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"the uproar he would create if (Boys was?) banished back to the UK" can you tighten wording to show who was to be returned? Victuallers (talk) 16:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it was Boys that was referring to. Clarified now. danno 16:54, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
