Lead

 * "There he captained..." – "There, he captained..." (Comma)
 * Done. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * "The following day he was killed in action." – "He was killed in action the following day." (Either work; more common wording)
 * I prefer to keep as it is, if that's ok. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. ProKro (talk) 00:17, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Rugby career

1913 Season

 * "On 6 September 1913..." – On 6 September 1913,... (Comma)

Military career

 * "24 hours later on 9 August 1915,..." – "Twenty-four hours later on 9 August 1915,..." (While not strictly incorrect, majority of Stylebooks and Manuals of Style recommend starting a sentence with a number written out rather than in its the numerical form; in this case 24.)
 * Absolutely. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Additional comments

 * While not as prominent as in the Albert Downing and Arthur James Dingle articles, there are some chiefly British/New Zealand English spelling preferences, so I'd suggest putting the New Zealand English tag in the article's talk page.
 * Tagged British. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Same as with the other articles, I'd suggest changing the date format.
 * I prefer to keep British English date format for consistency, if that's ok. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Noted. Discuss over at Albert Downing/GA1. ProKro (talk) 00:17, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Just as with Albert Downing, it's an easy pass. As soon as the issues are addressed, the article'll be good-to-go. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. ProKro (talk) 22:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
