Lead-in

The lead in has lots of short, choppy paragraphs; when you have a chance, could you try to merge them into one or two that flow a little more nicely? Thanks, —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 21:48, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

German War dead

The figure in the text does not match the number in the box on the right - which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.133.0.13 (talk) 12:22, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. I will check my reference book tonight; I created the original article. Thanks. -- K72ndst (talk) 13:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Links

My knowledge of Wikipedia is small - please excuse. The link for "External links > At the British War Cemetery, Bayeux (poem); by Charles Causley" did not work: "404 Not found". I found a link that did work (on the same site), put it there, published it, and it STILL doesn't work. It is beyond me. Sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.136.105.222 (talk) 11:33, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

The revised link seems to be working OK for me. (This post moved from further up the page).(Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~.
