Talk:Harry Farr

Untitled
The reference to John Laister needs amending. If he was 101 in 2006 he would have been born in 1905 and been a member of the firing squad at the ripe old age of 11. Seems unlikely.

The article cited was uploaded in 1999, which would have made John 18 or 19, a bit more realistic. --Ryan86 22:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

External Link Suggestion
There is an hour-long talk, 'Shell Shock or Cowardice?: The Case of Harry Farr' available on-line in which King's College London psychiatrist, Simon Wessely analyses the case historically: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?PageId=45&EventId=759 I think that this would be an obvious and unquestionable addition to this page. (I only don't put it up myself as there is a possible conflict-of-interest as I am connected with Gresham College, where the lecture was given).

Date of death
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission gives the date of death as 18 October 1916, not 16 October - http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/751229 This is undoubtedly the right man as his Medal Index Card, http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=2340893 notes that he was shot for cowardice, though to add further confusion the MIC has been indexed saying that he was 2nd Battalion, not 1st, though this could be a mistranscription.

 * I see the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine article used as a reference uses 16 October in the openeing sentence, but 18 October later in the article.  David Underdown (talk) 15:50, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
