 * Comment The two awards DCM and BEM may indicate notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 18:18, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BASIC. His awards do not rank highly enough to confer notability. Page created by an WP:SPA. Mztourist (talk) 03:28, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete a regimental magazine does not qualify as an indepdent/reliable enough source to use as the only source to show notability, and private letters held by the family not only fail every point to establish notability, but their very inclusion as a souce points to violation of the no original research rules of Wikipedia. Sort of like how US census records should not be used as sources for Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:53, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - bulk of article fails WP:V. Even assumiing the regimental magazine counts toward notability (I'm not sure it should), it's only one source, and the topic fails GNG.  I could find no better sources when searching.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 21:53, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
