Changed tag for references[edit]

This article was tagged with a "unreferenced" tag in October 2012, but when I read it in August 2013 it clearly had two references. I therefore changed the tag to "refimprove". In particular, the description of the original formation could really use some additional citations. — Molly-in-md (talk) 14:38, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose[edit]

Hello, I would like to read about the exact purpose of the mine, what was the context of its use. Kind regards Ziko (talk) 15:05, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion[edit]

Capture of La Boisselle has been written and Lochnagar expanded a little Keith-264 (talk) 16:15, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have assessed this as C class. Clarification of the term "glory hole" and what it is used for could improve the "1915" section. If you do this I will re-assess as B class. Linking the term glory hole does not seem to fit the context of this article, but I could be wrong. I have made some small corrections as to formatting and removel of an extra word; otherwise, the article looks fine. One might consider linking the term Y Sap mine if a future article is contemplated. Cuprum17 (talk) 18:59, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

34th Division.[edit]

The article states that the 34th Division was a North of England Pals Division.

It was however a mix of Pals - 101st Brigade - (Grimsby Chums) 10th Lincolns, (Cambridge Pals) 11th Suffolk, (Lord Provost's Battalion) 15th Royal Scots, (McCrae's Battalion) 16th Royal Scots; 102nd Brigade - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Battalions Tyneside Scottish (Northumberland Fusiliers) ; 103rd Brigade - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Battalions Tyneside Irish (Northumberland Fusiliers). 5.36.19.176 (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
