I hope there are no issues with nominating this for Did you know, which will hopefully mean this appears on the main page? Thanks, Mat ty. 007 17:04, 29 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Ah, Pigsonthewing had already done it. Thanks, Mat ty. 007 18:52, 29 March 2014 (UTC) reply

There are some images of Garland online (FindAGrave has some, for example); it would be good to determine whether any are out of copyright. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:39, 29 March 2014 (UTC) reply

OK, someone neat me to that.... Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:45, 29 March 2014 (UTC) reply

( edit conflict) Those listed at [0=makerString%3AGarland%20%28Capt%29&query= here] by the IWM are credited to Garland himself and so are all out of copyright. I had already added his portrait to the article. There are a number that might be useful for other articles - Dumelow ( talk) 22:48, 29 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Not a reliable source, but see [1]; apparently he had six children. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:45, 29 March 2014 (UTC) reply
