This article definitely qualifies for C-class on the AfC grading scheme and it looks like it likely satisfies most B-class criteria, I just don't feel personally experienced enough to give it a B-class. I welcome additional assessments from the WikiProjects listed. lovkal ( talk) 13:54, 22 January 2021 (UTC) reply

I removed the following from the lead: " won the Victoria Cross for gallantry, the Empire’s highest and prestigious military medal." Obviously the first few words were missing and I couldn't seem to find the words anywhere near that sentence and so I removed it. lovkal ( talk) 14:01, 22 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Actually, I found the entire sentence in an older revision of the page. It has been restored. lovkal ( talk) 14:04, 22 January 2021 (UTC) reply
