I’m his daughter. Various info is incorrect regarding the number of books he wrote and his career with DERA. I totally accept the fact I have been rather indulgent in the personal aspects of his life but my Dad came from nothing. He didn’t write about ‘naval matters’ he was a naval historian with valid technical input. He took a lot of his own photos for his books and he was so recognised in his nuclear science field as a consultant and also was offered posts in Washington & the South of France. I am happy to miss out the anecdotal info but I want him to be properly described in terms of his experience, job roles and the manner in which he died. A short Illness? Where did that come from? His books are published in multiple languages & he was fluent in 3 himself.

I am happy to provide any info and accept guidance without including personal aspects but I object to the idea I am promoting something on the back of his life’s work. He should serve as an inspiration to others for what he did and he also adopted my brother then me. I look forward to you providing me with guidance on how to improve his page and will tell you he was a modest man and when he was entered into Wikipedia he was shocked by it. He wasn’t on social media and didn’t look for the limelight. I just want his page to show his accomplishments because when he was dying he asked me if he had anything left to prove. Take care & I hope to discuss this more. Elizabeth Dad1708 (talk) 15:44, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Crickets? Instead you list issues with his page and aren’t reflecting who he was. I’m disgusted particularly as I donated towards Wiki happily when you asked. This isn’t fair to my father & I will be seeking his publishers input. Dad1708 (talk) 03:31, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
