Robert Palmer (British writer)
Palmer in 1911
- ... that a football injury saved Robert Palmer (pictured) from being besieged at Kut, but he died serving with the relief expedition? Source: "On 24th November Bobby had an accident in the football field ... his presence at the fatal battle of Umm-Al-Hannah arose from his detention at Amarah. The day after he sprained his leg, half the battalion (including his "A " Company) were ordered to move upstream immediately to an unknown destination. To his great chagrin, they started without him, leaving him in the hands of the Medical Officer." from page 172 of Ridding, Laura Elizabeth Palmer (1921). The Life of Robert Palmer, 1888-1916. London: London : Hodder and Stroughton. That the force that left was besieged at Kut is covered in the next half dozen pages. Palmer's death in the relief expedition is on pages 196-201

Overall: 
@Dumelow: Good article! However, you used the wolfe-class ship of the line as a QPQ for two of your nominations when there was only one article in that nomination. So i'll need a different QPQ for it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:12, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
