Talk:Rodger Young

Rank?
The current article infobox lists him as a Private, but he was a Sergeant when he was KIA. Is there something I'm missing here?

 * Read the article. He voluntarily requested a rank reduction to private from sergeant when his eyesight and hearing degenerated so he wouldn't risk the lives of others. Bravo Foxtrot (talk) 01:24, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Mentions of him.
Hello. Not so long time ago I got to this page and readed it. I never know before, who Roger Young was, but name seems familiar to me. I recall that I already saw name of Roger Young in different computer games /2 or 3/ and those ARE NOT connected to WW2. AFAIR "Roger Young" is a name of fictionale space shuttle in System Shock 2 game. That is barely a coincidence. --Oleg Str (talk) 07:48, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * "Roger Young" was the name of a fictional spaceship in the book Starship Troopers, the video game you remember was probably paying homage to the book. — jwillbur 17:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

disambiguation line?
Would be nice if Roger Wilton Young showed up on searches for "Roger Young". :) 161114 daihbhi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.235.81 (talk) 15:38, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello any watchers, I am working on getting this article to WP:GA status. As part of my work, I'd like to move this page to "Rodger Young", which, per WP:COMMONNAME, would be the correct place. Thoughts? If there aren't any constructive comments by April 11, 2020 UTC, I'll go ahead and move it per WP:SILENCE. Cheers, -- Puddleglum 2.0 (How's my driving?) 02:54, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

The Ballad of Rodger Young
Country recording artist, the late Mr. Jim Reeves (D. 1963) recorded a far superior cover of this ballad, with spoken intro and excellent music and closing. Mr. Reeves' music is still available online and such sites as YouTube. Truly a tribute to Private Rodger Young and his heroism. Vjwheeler1 (talk) 19:38, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
