Error in WW 2 section?[edit]

The write-up about his returning the Japanese decorations seems to list three distinct awards, but the first two of them, "Imperial Order of Meiji" and "Order of the Sacred Treasure" take you to the same place. If both of these are, in fact, names for the same decoration, then the write-up should make that clear. If, on the other hand, he received (and vowed to return) three awards, then that's what should be made clear.—PaulTanenbaum (talk) 16:19, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The comment above re two links for different awards going to the same place is still true, but the text is under WW1. Can someone please fix. Downsize43 (talk) 10:36, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The source says: "Eichelberger, who as intelligence officer had many dealings with the Japs, blandly outwitted them, blocking them from taking over areas they wanted. For some Japanese reason, the Japs seemed to admire these efforts. At any rate, they decorated him with the Imperial Order of Meiji, the Order of the Sacred Treasure and the Order of the Rising Sun." The Japanese honors system article say that "the Imperial Order of Meiji was established in 1875, and was later renamed as the Order of the Rising Sun" and the "Order of Meiji was just the original name of the Order of Sacred Treasure" I will see if I can find an expert.

Reviewer: DCI2026 (talk · contribs) 01:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC) I'll begin reviewing this article at some point this week, hopefully sooner rather than later. dci | TALK 01:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Early life[edit]

Re: "He grew up on the 235 acres (95 ha) family farm", it is traditional to refer to the "acres" in the singular when attached to an object such as "farm", eg. "the 200 acre farm". Downsize43 (talk) 01:22, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's just the template. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:34, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

World War I[edit]

Last para. The sentence "The American Expeditionary Force Siberia was withdrawn in April 1920." should be the last one in the para, not the first. Downsize43 (talk) 01:43, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:34, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
