Talk:Battle of Fairfax Court House (1861)

More than one battle of Fairfax Court House; date
I have included the date in the title because there was more than one American Civil War battle in or in the immediate vicinity of Fairfax Court House. I intend to add pages for at least some of these battles. Donner60 (talk) 03:05, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * In that case should this not be First battle of Fairfax Court House Jim Sweeney (talk) 22:22, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it should. Is there an official body that monitors the naming of battles? Valetude (talk) 16:30, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It's really a skirmish isn't it? Merely a handful of troops on each side. CsikosLo (talk) 13:44, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

1 inline citation needed
It only needs one inline citation to make it to B-class. If no one can find an image then that's alright. Still will make it to B-class. Adamdaley (talk) 06:14, 16 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Additional citations added. Donner60 (talk) 06:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Good work. It's a B class now. Adamdaley (talk) 08:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Map?
A map of the battle-area would be helpful. Valetude (talk) 10:58, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

First field-officer wounded
Are there any records of an officer (of whatever rank) being a combat casualty earlier than this? If not, Ewell would qualify as the first officer wounded in combat -  a bigger distinction than first field-officer, which would also be his. Marr, of course, would qualify as the first officer killed in combat. Valetude (talk) 12:12, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * ...or, does Marr qualify as the first soldier, irrespective of rank, to have died in combat? Valetude (talk) 09:31, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
