Image:Templer time.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

MOS:FLAGS explicitly states: "Avoid flag icons in infoboxes. Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a 'country', 'nationality' or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many. Flag icons should only be inserted in infoboxes in those cases where they convey information in addition to the text. Flag icons are visually distracting in infoboxes and lead to unnecessary disputes when over-used. Examples of acceptable exceptions would be military battle infoboxes templates and infoboxes that include international competitions, such as FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games. The guidelines for a number of common infoboxes (e.g. Template:Infobox company, Template:Infobox film, Template:Infobox person) explicitly prohibit the use of flag icons. The use of country-related flagicons and signal flags in infoboxes for ship articles and military conflicts is appropriate."
Additionally, this article is of a military person, not a military unit, but that is of no consequence. Where can and editor find info to support your claim ( MOS:FLAGS is directed from WP:MOS)?
I think I managed to piece together how his rank varied over his career, but having it put into a list could make it clearer. If I read it right, he was promoted to Major General and Lieutenant General at least twice each, first temorarily, then later substantively? TLein ( talk) 11:52, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Did Templer decline a life-peerage? Its a bit uncommon that a FM has no baroncy or vicountcy. -- 37.24.11.144 ( talk) 17:47, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

The current caption of the photo in the "High Commissioner in Malaya" section says:
"A British soldier in Malay poses with the heads of two MNLA guerrillas."
However, the image shows a Royal Marine, as confirmed by the detailed media description. While a relatively minor update I think it is worth amending this, but would appreciate any thoughts either way on best practice in terms of captions and appropriate levels of detail.
