"was a unit of the British army" - Should British Army be capitalized?

Y

"Allied war effort" - link Allied to Allies of World War II

Y

You link shillings, but not pence. Is there a specific reason for this?

Y

"Building railroads from Beirut to Haifa, tunneling, loading ammunition onto trains, guarding supplies and working as cooks." - Sentence fragment

Y

"5 APC servicemen were killed" - MOS:NUMERALS

Y

"2 MBEs, 7 Military Medals, 8 British Empire Medals" - MOS:NUMERALS

Lead could use a little expansion.

Is photography really the best way to describe the paintings of the AAPC activities? Looks like they'd be licensed public domain as a painting, too, but it seems like a description of a painting would be better than a description of a photograph.

Added "A painting of" to the description of paintings within the article. Would that suffice?--Catlemur (talk) 21:54, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @Catlemur: - Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I was referring to the licensing information on Commons. Hog Farm (talk) 02:49, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: I removed all the paintings, perhaps I will sort the licensing some other day.--Catlemur (talk) 07:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
