It's hard to believe that this is a picture of "the only black officer and chaplain for the entire British Army." A different William A. White? Must be. - Willmcw 05:42, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Can anyone (hint, hint) find a photograph of the real William A. White? That'd be great. Cheers, - Willmcw 10:28, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

I uploaded the correct photo for William A. White this week. Abebenjoe 17:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC) reply

White may have been the only black chaplain in the Imperial Army in WWI, but he wasn't the only black officer. See here for instance. -- Necrothesp 12:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC) reply

• I agree, it seems improbable that he was the only black officer, though I've two reference sources that claim that he was. Not having anything else to back this up, I agree with your edit. Likely, the sources used bad sentence structure to make it appear that he was the only black officer, when what they meant was chaplain (which I believe automatically is an officer rank).
