Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Should be divided into sections, and inline citations should be added. A picture would help, too, if a free one exists. Coemgenus 15:39, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Substantive rank of major[edit]

The article says "he was given the substantive rank of major on 1 March 1881" and then later it says "He was promoted to the substantive rank of major on 21 March 1885". Could someone clarify this? --Bduke (Discussion) 10:14, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now corrected. He was promoted to brevet major on 1 March 1881. Dormskirk (talk) 13:16, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --Bduke (Discussion) 21:19, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
