Active service, or not?
[edit]Currently we say in the first paragraph:
- " ... but never left Australia or saw active service",
and in the second paragraph:
- "The death of William Evan Allan in October 2005 left Ross as the last Australian digger who saw active service during World War I".
So: did he see active service, or not? JackofOz 08:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- The article on William Evan Allan is very confident that he was the last Australian to serve abroad in WWI. He was given a state funeral. My understanding of the definition of active service is that you have to be engaged with the enemy or abroad, in the 'theatre of war'. Exact definitions will vary by military code. See e.g. http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Canal/Active-Service.htm. It seems unlikely this man was on active service in WWI. William Avery 22:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
