Infobox[edit]

How about an infobox? Is there a better one for people of military history? I am not familiar with honorary titles ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:36, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

{{infobox military person}} is the typical one we use for military officers, but I'm not sure if it would really be an improvement over {{infobox person}} in this case, considering the brevity of his military career. Kirill ^[talk] 23:02, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you think it's fine, please copy it to the article, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:05, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
