Talk:Michael Pratt (GC)

Most recent?
Philip, can you clarify
 * ''He is a recipient of the George Cross, and of all living recipients, his award is the most recent such to a civilian. The most recent award, and the most recent award to a living recipient, was to Trooper Christopher Finney in 2003.

Also, can you perhaps supply when Pratt received the award? Thanks! -- Perfecto
 * 1) Who is the most recent recipient?
 * 2) Who is the most recent civilian recipient?
 * 3) Among those recipients who are civilians, who received the award last?
 * 4) Among those recipients who are still alive, who received the award last?
 * (1) Christopher Finney; (2) Stewart Graeme Guthrie; (3) Guthrie (isn't this the same question?); (4) Finney. Pratt's award was gazetted on 4 July 1978. -- Necrothesp 11:19, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Then the sentence really should only read
 * ''He is a recipient of the George Cross in 4 July 1978.

 * No, it was perfectly accurate (although poorly worded). Guthrie's award was posthumous and Finney was (and is) not a civilian. -- Necrothesp 13:20, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Are constables civilians (in Australia)? FYI, sentences cannot be accurate and poorly worded at the same time. :) -- Perfecto [[Image:Flag_of_Canada.svg|25px|Canada]] 18:59, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Civilian, as in non-military. Are Australian police officers military police? No. Therefore, they are civilians. Yes, a sentence can be accurate (i.e. factually correct) and badly worded at the same time. -- Necrothesp 20:13, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm coming a little late to this (apologies) - but for what it's worth, hmph, I thought the sentence was clear enough. ;)  Nonetheless, (not that it matters) I entirely approve of the alteration and the sentence as it stands now.
