Ashes "laid to rest"?
In the lead and in the "Reactions to death; military funeral and burial" section, the ashes are referred to as being "laid to rest". First, neither of the relevant sources mentions "being laid to rest", just that they were returned to Ontario. Second, isn't "laid to rest" a bit of a euphemism? Let's say "buried", if that can be supported by the sources; if not, let's just leave it at "returned to his homeland" or something similar. – ukexpat (talk) 14:53, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Removing military history tag
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure this article doesn't meet the conditions for inclusion at WP:Milhist, namely: "Military service does not in and of itself place an individual within the scope of the project—particularly in the case of service in modern militaries. To qualify them, an individual's military service must have been somehow noteworthy or have contributed—directly or indirectly—to their notability." In the last section, a "hero's funeral" is noted ... but it seems clear what's meant is that he was a hero to his own men. Other than that, his service wasn't by itself noteworthy, it was his past that generated all the notoriety. Opinions welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 15:30, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. —Cliftonian (talk) 17:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Focussing?
Is "focussing" an alternate spelling for focusing or is this a misspelled word within the article? -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Focussing is an alternate form commonly used in British-style English. —Cliftonian (talk)</b></b> 16:34, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

General Article
IMHO an excellent piece,never heard of this person and cleary he was no hero,but the bit where he was seen at the funeral in his uniform made me think was it redemtion?,either way a good story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bullseye30 (talk • contribs) 09:50, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
