Due ot ehlping out a few members of the Cricket WikiProject with a few bits and pieces, I've just discovered that South African cricketer Claude Newberry was one of the casualties of this battle, see [1]. Doubtless there were more, do such figures deserve a mention in this article (it seems a little unfair on those who were not famous of course), or should the only mention be in the other direction?

Sorry I missed out on the vote for A - very nice improvements. One further suggrestion: please rewrite the outcome, it's a bit convoluted. Dhatfield ( talk) 21:50, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
A very interesting page (one of the best linked to the B of t Somme page) but a quibble if I may, Longueval is a village. Keith-264 ( talk) 20:30, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for a very useful section on Delville Wood. But in the diary of the 10th bat Essex regt, in the 53rd brigade, there is a map and a description for the night of 19th-20th July showing them occupying the southern half of Delville wood, from its eastern end as far west as Buchanan Street, and from Princes street down to the southern boundary of the wood. They seemed to have moved to this position on the evening of the 19th. Your map described as 18-20th July shows the Germans occupying this area. Perhaps it is just the situation on the 18th ? I would be happy to send you images from this diary, which I got from the UK national archives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.200.150 ( talk) 20:57, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Tidied the page, did sfn's and added a few references. Keith-264 ( talk) 00:10, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
FYI I have uploaded an image of a plaque depicting a trench scene from The Cenotaph, Cape Town to Commons. "The trench scene represents the burnt-out Delville Wood in July 1916 when held by SA forces." (Binckes, 2010, p 131). Helen Online 12:35, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
