Obits

Copying the obituary from the newspaper is probably a copyright violation. Did the author of this page get permission? Otherwise, it will have to be removed. — brighterorange (talk) 14:07, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

References

In the reference section there is a strange line citing a number of names. It does not elaborate what they mean - I suspect that they have been placed there almost like a "personal" reference i.e. the sort someone might give to get a job or in order to rent a house. I have left them there for the moment but am asking now if anyone would mind if I delete them? I have included a more acceptable reference in Parker 2005 along with citations from the London Gazette so there is now some reference material to back up the article. If no one objects I will delete this curious line in the next few days. Cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 23:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Age

I have changed Ganju Lama's age also. Originally it said that he was 21 when he performed the deed for which he received the VC. I do not believe that this is correct. The act was performed on 12 June 1944 and he was born on 22 July 1924, which would make him 19. Additionally Parker 2005, p. 202 states that he was 19 - as such I feel that it is confirmed that he was 19 and not 21. I have changed it to reflect this. If anyone disagrees please let me know and we can discuss the matter. Cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 23:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
