Talk:Ernest Lucas Guest

Guest Family
There is likely a link between the family of Sir Ernest Guest, which came from Kidderminster, and the Guest Baronets and Guest family descended from John Guest of Broseley, Shropshire, some 20 miles NNW of Kidderminster. Also, Ivor is a common name of the Guest Baronets and is also the name of Ernest Guest's older brother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FunkyCanute (talk • contribs) 12:55, 18 March 2010 (UTC) FunkyCanute (talk) 16:48, 18 March 2010 (UTC). Ivor is also the name of Ernest's nephew, Ivor Forbes Guest, a notable ballet historian.FunkyCanute (talk) 09:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Date of death of Ivor Arthur Melville Guest
Would those who wrote this article be able to help with a small mystery surrounding the death date of Ivor Arthur Melville Guest, the elder brother of Ernest and son of Herbert Melville Guest (where I also encountered this mystery)? The death date is given in the CWGC database as 6 November 1917, and both that article and this one say he was killed in action at the Battle of Mahiwa, but the dates for that battle are given as 15–18 October 1917. Is it possible that the wrong battle has been named, or that he died of wounds at a date after the battle? Carcharoth (talk) 22:58, 24 August 2016 (UTC)


 * See The Story of the 1st Battalion Cape Corps, pp. 144, 147. He was killed on 6 November in a later action at Mkungu, near Mahiwa. Choess (talk) 02:12, 26 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Should we correct these two articles to say that? Carcharoth (talk) 22:33, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
