Broken Link

Friends Ambulance Unit - The Story of the F.A.U. in the Second World War 1939-1945. Link is broken

Since the work is referenced by ISBN in the references section anyway, I've removed the broken link. --Ahc 03:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for further work

Link specific statements to specific pages in sources.
Clarify apostrophe in title
The first FAU (1914-1919) is thinly sourced. It doesn't indicate the climate of opinion at the time of the foundation of FAU. It doesn't indicate the divided opinion among war-resisters and conscientious objectors.
There might be some use for a mention of the reunions, as the second FAU arose out of a reunion.
It would be good to have a section listing notable people associated with the FAU.
There should be some mention of the retraining and job placement effort for helping discharged FAU members.
The text should indicate that the library guides are online.
There should be a "See also" section, linking to other Wikipedia articles.
The "Sources" section should be extended, if possible.
The article would benefit from additional illustrations.

"It would be good to have a section listing notable people associated with the FAU." I scoured "what links here" and ODNB and have produced a long list, in alpha order. Should it be divided into WWI and WWII? Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 22:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

China Convoy

Doesn't mention the China Convoy, evidenced here: http://www.quaker.org.uk/friends-ambulance-unit-china-convoy-1941-46. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 23:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Also created a China Convoy redirect. Folks at 137 (talk) 15:57, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
