Talk:British logistics in the Normandy campaign

Pluto
Surely here must be a mention about Operation Pluto soon? Eastfarthingan (talk) 13:46, 5 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I thought about it, and wrote something at one point, but it didn't come into operation until September, so I deferred it to a successor article.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:17, 5 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Point taken. Thank you. ps. wonderful article btw. Eastfarthingan (talk) 21:44, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

CE
Did a cheeky little ce, blammed a couple of typos, changed a few sentences for flow and rv a couple of dupe wikilinks. Checked for dupes, Auto Edded, revised Engvar B and left a couple of questions via < ! - - hidden in the text; pls revert as desired, all edits suggestive. I thought the article was a tour de force and well worth the time and effort of all concerned. Wiki at its best. Keith-264 (talk) 14:01, 14 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I've addressed the questions. Reverted to some technical terms. (One problem with English is that so many words have both technical meanings and colloquial ones. (Did you know what dollars and cents mean when we are talking about nuclear reactors?) Two minor corrections: the 21st Army Group did not entirely consist of men (mostly, but not entirely) and the damage to the railways was not entirely due to bombing (again, mostly but not entirely). Also, never ever change the EngVar on an article. (Especially not to EngVarB, which is just a placeholder.)  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  00:38, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, if you could drop by Featured article candidates/Mercury Seven/archive1 with a review, that would be appreciated.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  00:52, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I thought it was in Briteng? Keith-264 (talk) 08:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

on the multinational element
don't know if this counts as burying the lead but having name dropped that there were units other than Commonwealth in 21st Army Group, nothing more is made of whether this did or did not affect logistics. GraemeLeggett (talk) 17:25, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Is it only British logistics?
Unless I'm reading the lead wrong, shouldn't this article be titled something like "Anglo-Canadian logistics in the Normandy campaign" to refer to the multinational 21st Army Group? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:25, 9 June 2023 (UTC)


 * From British logistics in the Western Allied invasion of Germany: "Although it contained personnel from many nations, the logistical support was British... throughout the campaign in North-West Europe, there was virtually no separate Canadian supply organization other than what existed within First Canadian Army itself. The great majority of Canadian requirements, including ordnance stores, ammunition, petroleum products, most engineer, medical and dental stores, rations, office machinery and other supplies, were provided through British channels."
 * Added a summary of that to this article too. The other article is up for review at FAC at Featured article candidates/British logistics in the Western Allied invasion of Germany/archive1. If you could drop by with comments, it would be greatly appreciated. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  05:45, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
