TFA blurb review
Roy Inwood (14 July 1890 – 23 October 1971) was an Australian soldier and recipient of the Victoria Cross during World War I. Landing at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, in April 1915 with the 10th Battalion of the Australian Imperial Force, he fought there until being evacuated sick to Egypt in September. He rejoined his unit on the Western Front before the Battle of Mouquet Farm in August 1916. In 1917 he fought in the Battle of Lagnicourt and the Second Battle of Bullecourt. His Victoria Cross was awarded for actions during the Battle of Menin Road, including the elimination of a German machine-gun post. During World War II, he volunteered for service in the Citizens Military Forces, and reached the rank of warrant officer class one, serving in the Australian Provost Corps and Military Prison and Detention Barracks Service. After the war he returned to work with the City of Adelaide, and upon his death he was buried with full military honours in the AIF Cemetery, West Terrace. His medals are displayed in the Adelaide Town Hall.

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. I've got it down to 1054 characters, which is 39 characters too long, but I don't have any preference what to chop at this point. - Dank (push to talk) 21:40, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
