Sankey article (extract with refs from User talk:Shyamal

Hi,

Just noted that you changed the initials of one Major Sankey, SIL of William Henry Benson in the article to R H Sankey. I was under the impression that this is the same Sankey of the Sankey Tank fame, later Col. R E Sankey, according to the latter article. Are these two people different? prashanthns (talk) 10:50, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure if R E is correct. It should probably be R H Sankey (both places) see http://www.archive.org/stream/professionalpap00regoog#page/n19/mode/1up The RE could be a mistake from his RE suffix (Royal Engineers). Shyamal (talk) 11:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Noted! Thanks. prashanthns (talk) 11:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Just to be sure

" http://www.sankey.ws/irishtree.html "Sir" no less ! Seems like an article is needed. Wonder what a medal with clasps is ? Shyamal (talk) 11:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Oops, Hieram it seems http://sankey-dietz.com/published_references_to_sankey.htm Shyamal (talk) 11:19, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
