Talk:William Fox (actor)

Military service
Previously the article stated that he served in the London Regiment, but this was disbanded before the war. However the Telegraph actually said the London Rifles, whilst the Guardian said Royal Ulster Regiment. I think I've managed to square this circle, The Royal Ulster Regiment was the regular army sponsor of the London Irish Rifles, and I've found a few London Gazette entries (all post-war unfortunately) for a W. H. Fox in the London Irish Rifles, so this seems to stack up. It should be possible to reconstruct more of his service from Gazette entries, but even though I've found his service number in these two entries, the occasionally hit-and-miss nature of the scanning process and susbsequent search index seems to be having a particualrly bad effect in his case.
