Talk:James Forlong

Two James Forlongs on wikipedia
It appears this article may need to fork. There are references linking here regarding both James George Roche Forlong (d. 1904) who is the present subject, as well as James Forlong (d. 2003), a dismissed Sky News journalist, accused of faking Iraq War report, who committed an apparently-notable suicide. If forking is necessary, I would suggest converting this article to the journalist, and moving the current text to James George Roche Forlong, which currently redirects here. --Geoff Capp (talk) 04:05, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Genealogy
The two were related. The journalist was (as I am) one of many great-grandsons of Gordon, an elder brother of JGRF. (It's nice to see one of my genealogy files cited in Wikipedia.) Robin Patterson (talk) 11:36, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Armies and campaigns
Wikipedia says elsewhere:
 * The first army officially called the "Indian Army" was raised by the government of India in 1895

So which army did Forlong join? (Presumably one of the forces connected to the BEIC.)

The article says he was in the "Mahrata Campaign of 1845-46". I can't see a reference to that campaign elsewhere in WP. What's what? I woudd like to give him more, fairly specific, categories but need more info. In later life he was described as a Major-General, but in which jurisdiction?
