Despite the impressive length of the original article, two questions remain: 1.) What became of his wife? and 2.) What did he die of, aged only 44? As regards his wife, I haven't deleted mention of her because she's presented as the reason he didn't pursue a military career. WQUlrich ( talk) 23:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC) reply
