Taal[edit]

The notes section has reference asking what Taal is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taal Taal is Afrikaans — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wakelamp (talk • contribs) 14:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gazette entries[edit]

Other than the entries I added, there was also "No. 27285". The London Gazette. 15 February 1901. {{cite magazine}}: Check date values in: |date= (help) which continually errored when i tried to access it so I couldn't verify its contents. David Underdown (talk) 12:28, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to work now. Shimgray | talk | 00:38, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Historian not just journalist.[edit]

Note that Piotr Zychowicz is a qualified historian degreed in Historic Institute of Warsaw University not just journalist. Please change this disinformation.

Several online articles (like this one) agree with the description "historian" so I have added it to the text. Please sign your posts in future. Alansplodge (talk) 13:39, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Honours - apparent omission[edit]

As Ironside's campaign medals are listed alongside his other decorations and honours, I ask would he not have also been entitled to the War Medal 1939-45 for his short home-based service as effective head of the British Commonwealth armies in WWII? Also not shown although earlier in the page he is stated to have been awarded it in 1921, is the Order of the Sun and the Lion of Persia.Cloptonson (talk) 19:21, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
