Battle of Bismarck
Hi mate, I noticed that you contributed to the Battle of Al Rumaythah article. Thanks for correcting those errors. Another similar article has been started by another user about a separate incident. This article is called Battle of Bismarck. I am bringing this to your attention because of the work you did on Al Rumaythah indicates that you might be able to assist in bringing Bismarck up to standard. The more contributors, the better the article will be. Anyway, cheers for your contributions so far. — AustralianRupert (talk) 00:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Just a thought - are these in fact the same instances? Obg2soldier can you please confirm the dates of the incidents you added to the Battle of Al Rumaythah article? I suspect that may actually have occurred in 2007. Indeed in your comments you state 2007 but in the entry you say 2006. As such the operation at Al Rumaythah in September 2006 would still be the first time the Australians were directly engaged, with the incidents of 23-24 April (2007) occuring after this date.
