I have corrected the English of the first sentence of the second paragraph: 'In the historical...' As it was written, there was no main verb.

I changed 'military aide' to 'Military Assistant' and '2nd battalion of Scots Guards' to '2nd Battalion Scots Guards'. This is simply correcting UK military nomenclature.

I have inserted the word 'Battalion' between 1st and Scots Guards. This is a minor military nomenclature point. ~~~~

In the second paragraph, I have substituted '...work unpaid.' for '..work for free.' To say that slaves work for free sounds as if they are volunteering their services.

Charles Vincent Fox
The dates of his winning the Wingfield Sculls (1900) and the Diamond Sculls (1901) are transposed in the first paragraph. They are correct in the second paragraph. I have amended the first paragraph.

Patrick Cobbold
I changed the date of his death from 19 June 1944 to 18 June 1944, which was a Sunday. Alanbroke wrote the entry on the Monday, referring to the day before.

Alan Brooke, 1st Viscount Alanbrooke
In the introduction, I have changed ...he became fluent in French...' to '...he was bi-lingual...' Being educated and spending the first 16 years of his life in France, he did not 'become fluent.'

Walter Guinness, 1st Baron Moyne
I have changed 'awarded the Queen's South Africa medal...' to 'was entitled to...'. You are not awarded campaign medals: you become entitled to them if you are in the campaign (normally for a certain time).

John Vereker, 6th Viscount Gort
I have changed the wording about Edward VIII's funeral. A bearer party comprises an Officer, a Warrant Officer and eight bearers (some NCOs), all the same height, who actually carry the coffin.

In the last paragraph of the Plot Summary, I have attempted to make it clear that it is the governess and Miles who talk together about his expulsion.
