Obscure
This sentence appears meaningless: 'Tiger pushed Colley to pursue the Newcastle against the Boers, a terrible mistake.' 86.143.232.183 (talk) 19:02, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Contents Box
The Contents Box is in the wrong place -  halfway through the main article. Either the article is long enough to warrant a lede, sub-sections and a Contents Box, or it is not. 86.143.232.183 (talk) 19:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Qualities
'He had a very high reputation not only for a theoretical knowledge of military affairs, but also as a practical soldier.' This doesn't tell us enough. The profiling of a famous General ought to identify his strengths and weaknesses in more detail. 86.143.232.183 (talk) 19:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
