WWI British generals
http://www.firstworldwar.bham.ac.uk/donkey/index.htm

The answer: "But what about the mass of general officers in an army of 60 divisions and two million men? Who were they? How many were there? How were they chosen, promoted and dismissed? [...] As a taste of things to come the Centre for First World War Studies will be presenting a weekly portrait of one of Britain’s Western Front generals, of whom there were (at the last count) 1,257."

Full list is available at the link here and also here.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_generals_died_in_world_war_1

"78 British and Dominion officers of the rank of Brigadier General and above died on active service in the First World War while a further 146 were wounded. These figures alone show that, contrary to popular belief, British Generals frequently went close enough to the battle zone to place themselves in considerable danger."

Need to find source for that "78" figure. The Western Front figure is 58, maybe the higher figure comes from the other study listed here (the "British Senior Officer Casualties on the Western Front 1914-1918"), though as that is also specifying "Western Front", maybe not.

Hmm. Something here (a criticism of the 78 figure). The author of the 78 figure is Professor Peter Simkins of the Imperial War Museum. See also here for a BBC article from 1998.

From: Category:British Army World War I generals

Total of 196 so far. Divided into groups:


 * (A) Lack talk page
 * (B) Lack Military History tag
 * (C) Lack of WWI parameter

196 from A-Z
 * 108 are listed above in various categories (11/50/47).
 * 88 are tagged MilHist and WWI, but may lack British and Biography.


 * Lack talk page: 11 fixed
 * Lack MilHist tag: 50 fixed
 * Lack WWI parameter (may also lack British and Biography): 47 fixed


 * British Generals that died in WWI
 * Moved to User:Carcharoth/Article incubator/List of British Army generals who died during World War I

More ideas
Great resource on generals here:

http://www.westernfrontassociation.com/great-war-on-land/the-generals/130-british-military-leaders-great-war-terraine.html

Write something on state funerals of Haig and Foch.

Point out that articles like this are not covered by "World War I generals" category:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Currie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Mercer

Also, some Field Marshals missing from the British WWI generals category (technically, they are not generals):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kitchener,_1st_Earl_Kitchener

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Field_Marshals

And this is an excellent resource:

http://www.kcl.ac.uk/iss/archives/

Look through all the pages on generals for more ideas on sources.

Concorde crash
Add something on what happened to those on the ground during the Concorde crash.

Robert Boyle
Have acquired major new biography (published 2009). Article has potential for improvement from its current state. Lots to work on at the Robert Boyle page, and at the Boyle Lectures page.

American Museum of Natural History
Books ordered (arrived ages ago and second one read) Use to improve American Museum of Natural History, and go back to idea of separate article for the Library.

Lister Medal
Lister Medal stuff again: look here and here and take a copy and try and get an answer about what happened to the medal after 1997/8.

WWI poetry
Dumping a random idea here, as I haven't really found time to follow it up.

Jerusalem was popularised as a poem during WWI. The hymn music was written in 1916. The poem was included in a patriotic anthology of verse published in 1916.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1914_in_poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1915_in_poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1916_in_poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_in_poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_in_poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1919_in_poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_in_poetry

Maybe a list of anthologies in my userspace?

http://www.archive.org/details/propatrietregepo00kniguoft

"Pro patria et rege" looks interesting.

Deaths in the years 1914 to 1918 and 1939 to 1945
A random idea that led to a Signpost articles (on births and deaths in the 20th century in terms of Wikipedia articles), but now dumping here as not enough time to follow up (this is more detailed thesis-level stuff):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1914_deaths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1915_deaths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1916_deaths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1917_deaths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1918_deaths


 * Total for 1914-1918 is 5,998 deaths.
 * Total for 1939-1945 is 12,734 deaths.

Compare to:


 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:World_War_I_casualties
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:World_War_II_casualties

Idea would be to see what proportion of deaths among those with Wikipedia articles are due to the wars.

Most expensive books

Search there for "Bohun", and do list of "Bohun manuscripts"?

See also World War I in popular culture, and World War I in literature. Theatre is not well covered at the moment?

WWI casualties
Articles of interest:
 * Frank Beck (British Army officer)
 * William Manning: The GAA star who died fighting in the British Army during WW1, see CWGC record.
 * To follow up: Harry Prendergast (photo of grave and family plot), Category:Arthur Lewis Jenkins (2018 photo of grave), Bromhead Memorial (2018 photos), South African War Memorial, Richmond Cemetery (2018 photos, including Cross of Sacrifice and war graves section).
 * Five WWI casualties mentioned on family graves in Richmond Cemetery: William Spencer Judge, Edwin Alexander Sergeant, Henry Weston-Webb, Montague Adolf Stimson, Eric Malcolm Stimson (photos of family graves that memorialise them).
 * From in relation to Christ Church, Birkenhead, the CWGC pages for the sons of the Wolstenholmes are: Captain Richard Francis Wolstenholme and Lieutenant George Mellor Wolstenholme. Plus a memorial to George Cochran, not listed among the dead crew on the Tower Hill Memorial, so presumably a passenger on RMS Leinster.
 * From Monuments of Remembrance (which includes David Crane as a talking head): Eric Henderson, example of a casualty identified later and buried in a cemetery after being commemorated on a memorial to the missing. Originally commemorated on the Menin Gate, then found, identified and buried in 2018 in Oak Dump Cemetery in Belgium - find out where the inscription is from (were the wishes relating to headstone inscriptions as provided by the relatives of those named on memorials kept on file in case the body was later found)?
 * From Monuments of Remembrance, Dan Cruickshank visits the memorial stained glass window to the three sons of Lady Florence Cecil who were killed in the war. She famously organised a petition against the decisions taken by the IWGC. Her husband has an article: Lord William Cecil (bishop), and her three sons are named there: Randle William Gascoyne-Cecil, John Arthur Gascoyne-Cecil, and Rupert Edward Gascoyne-Cecil.
 * Quentin Roosevelt
 * Two sons of Bonar Law - James Kidston Law and Charles John Law.
 * From 'Soldier, Soldier' episode of Reel History of Britain, presented by Melvyn Bragg, includes mention of the Accrington War Memorial by Herbert Tyson Smith (other memorials by HTS that have articles are Birkenhead War Memorial, Southport War Memorial and Widnes War Memorial). Episode filmed at the Lancashire Infantry Museum. Included mentions of Walter Tull, Geoffrey Malins, William Lowther (aged c.33) killed on the Somme and another brother killed the same day and a brother killed a year earlier in Gallipoli (of the four Lowthers in the East Lancashire Regiment, these three fit that information: William, Arthur and Robert), also mentioned is William Bell (who survived) and his brother Donald Simpson Bell (who did not). Very moving poem at the end composed by two of the descendants.
 * The series of interviews with WWI veterans (repackaged for various TV programmes during the centenary years, with some interviews available in the BBC archives, and many featured in books by authors such as Richard van Emden) include some references to the deceased, but only some can be definitively identified by name. One such is Ellen Elston (born Ellen Tanner in 1908), whose father John Tanner was a Company Sergeant Major in the East Surrey Regiment and died on 6 August 1917 (details from Van Emden).
 * Doctors and nurses who served in Serbia (e.g. memorials to Dr Elizabeth Ross, Mabel Dearmer, Lorana Ferriss). Scottish Women's Hospital (SWH). 1500 women went to Serbia. Alan Cumming has researched this. Elsie Inglis was the driving force behind it. Allan Turner (Scottish doctor) has also researched the topic. BBC Alba documentary 'A Great Adventure' includes footage of CWGC graves in Serbia, including Madge Neil Fraser, Augusta M. Minshull, Louisa Jordan. Books include Shadow of Swords (biography of Elsie Inglis), A Red Cross Unit in Serbia (by Sir James Berry), By Sea and Land (Hilton Young). Fountain in Belgrade (restored in 1980s). Caroline Toughill died. Elsie Inlgis grave in Edinburgh - she died on active service (she returned ill to the UK from Russia and died in Newcastle a day after landing from her ship). Epitaph: Mors Janua Vitae ('death is the gateway to life' - interesting results if searching for this in Wikipedia - led me to this and this).
 * Henry Hugh Clifford, who died in 1883, but his son Hugh Clifford was alive during WWI. The second son of Henry (brother of Hugh) was a Brigadier General who died in WWI. Also, six grandsons died during the war, all named here in what is said to be an elaborate memorial. That is a duplicate entry, a picture is at the other WMR entry here.

75th anniversary of D-Day
Similar to the (off-wiki) notes I have on the various WWI commemorations, consider where material on the 75th anniversary of D-Day (BBC news) might be best placed and if enough to justify a separate article. And maybe 25 years is not too soon to plan for 100th anniversary of WWII... (though the main lesson is that it becomes harder to bring the main articles to featured status as they get edited more as interest rises, and as new materials is published and the historiography undergoes changes as more research is done). Start to look for 'anniversary' articles on WW2 in general.
 * Normandy Memorial (new memorial) [also go back and consider article for Bayeux Memorial, currently at Bayeux war cemetery]

More WWI and WWII deaths

 * Some people are only tangentially mentioned in Wikipedia articles - they do not have their own articles and are not related to those with articles, so mentioning them is likely WP:UNDUE (undue weight), so record these separately. An example (found when reading the FAC review of the article Australasian Antarctic Expedition, a lovely tribute to the late Brian Boulton) is the mentions of Edward Frederick Robert Bage (who does have his own article) and Leslie Blake who died in 1918. CWGC website is currently down, but these can be added or noted somewhere at some point.
 * Some discussion at talk pages as well: don't forget the discussion here.

Parliamentarians in war
Need to pay more attention! The list(s) I have had knocking around in userspace for several years of MPs killed in the war (plus all the other parliamentarians) really should be dusted off and used, as someone has done some lists over on the French-language Wikipedia (it is a rule of thumb that if you delay long enough on Wikipedia, someone else will do it): Created by the same person (maybe contact them?), first one June 2019, the others more recently (end of 2020). There were some MPs in Canada and Australia who also died as well. Not sure if lists have been done for other countries.

The AfDs were: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Of these, Ernest Russell Lyon and Bankole Vivour have material that could possibly be re-used elsewhere (with suitable references). See also the contribs of those who created the articles.

Pearson, Crosfield and Richards families
Lionel Godfrey Pearson and William Winstanley Pearson are brothers. Their parents were Samuel Pearson and Bertha Eliza Crosfield. The liberal MP William Crosfield is a brother of Bertha. One of the sisters of Lionel and William ('Willie') was Edith Ryley Pearson who married Leyton Richards. In a biographical account of her husband, Private View of a Public Man: The Life of Leyton Richards (1950), Edith said: "I had five brothers older than myself and one younger, and a sister, Dorothy, my constant friend and companion, two years my junior". There was also a sister that died young (Gertrude Margaret) mentioned here (died April 3 1886, aged 9 years and 4 months). See also family tree here.

Burials and services for British WWI generals
A semi-complete listing of the burial locations and memorial services for the leading British WWI generals plus some naval and air force leaders as well. Mainly looking at those that attained the rank of field marshal, and those who had services or burials in Westminster Abbey (for the leading French generals, most are buried at Les Invalides - see for example the tomb of Foch).
 * Sir Henry Wilson, 1st Baronet - 1921, buried in St Paul's Cathedral
 * John French, 1st Earl of Ypres - 1925, memorial service in Westminster Abbey (buried in Ripple, Kent)

 * Rudolph Lambart, 10th Earl of Cavan - 1946, buried at Ayot St Lawrence (this is another one to add to the examples of WWI generals with 'CWGC' headstones)
 * George Milne, 1st Baron Milne - 1948, ashes "laid at the shrine of Aberdeen War Memorial"
