I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.-- Jim Sweeney ( talk) 01:55, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Are we absolutely sure he was the inspiration for this poem? I always thought it was supposed to be Ivor Maxse - ironically as Maxse was a highly competent commander. I may be wrong, or of course different books may say different things. Paulturtle ( talk) 14:13, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
The retirement section may contain a large chunk of copyvio: Beginning "following his retirement...." appears to be identical to a similar section here: The Church Lads' Brigade in the great War by Jean Morris (page 235). Giano (talk) 08:01, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
