Some comments as I look at the article, which by the way is a fascinating read:
"While Treloar was a strict teetotaler and non-smoker, he occasionally shared wine and cigarettes with Dargie." This line contains a non-sequitur. He touched alcohol or he didn't. Lexysexy ( talk) 02:06, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

As an avid Trove user, I found that newspapers mostly refer to Treloar as "Lieutenant Colonel Treloar" or "J. L. Treloar" and almost never "John". Unfortunately there was no redirect from "J. L. Treloar", so it seemed sensible to make that the MOS:NAME. I have no problem with the current title, though it is rather clumsy, and when I think of Treloar, which is seldom, I think of "historian" or "archivist". I don't have any military reference books and I'm quite prepared to believe such sources call him "John". No matter. Second only to an article being reliable, referenced and well written, is that it should be easy to find. Redirects are cheap, and now that [[J. L. Treloar]] points to the article it's off my radar.
