Talk:Edgar Erskine Hume

Edgar Erskine Hume
Hello BeenAroundAWhile, Thank you for checking my edits to Edgar Erskine Hume I do not mind the removal but I have one question I can understand why adding details about Edgar Erskine Hume career to the intro could be seen as "Too much puff" but why also removing the Military honors and decorations he received? doesn't the fact that he was "one of the most decorated and honored medical officers in the US army" along with the awards he earned deserved to be mentioned on his page? Thank you Best Regards Aeengath (talk) 20:01, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
