I see people are starting an edit war...
1) I changed it to Black African decent to make everyone happy.
2) It seems in his time he was viewed as Black and Not mixed race so, calling him mixed race by today's standard is deceptive.
3) Race is a social construct thus, no need to get into a pissing contest over this. Leave it as is... In the write up it talks about his parents background thus, it is clearified there.
4) Once again, it does not matter...

In the References section, I removed the sentence that said, "Now 40% of black footballers are in the English premier league ." I suspect that what the writer meant to say was that 40% of footballers in the Premiership are black, not that 40% of all the black footballers in the world play in the Premiership. But no source has been provided to confirm either meaning. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 08:40, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

It is stated that in 1914 he joined the British Home Guard but - although the words are straight from the citation used - the term was not actually used during WWI. The relevant organisation concerned was the Volunteer Training Corps, first constituted in September 1914, that came to assume the home defence function of the WWII Home Guard. I have rephrased the reference accordingly. Cloptonson ( talk) 19:15, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
