A fact from Guy Dury appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 February 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that after recapturing escaped Luftwaffe prisoners, the British officer Guy Dury is said to have remarked: "one really has to take off one's hat to them ... I really regret having to lock them up"?
The article skips from his marriage in 1949 to his death in 1976, a 25+ year gap. I realize that Wikipedia loves the armed forces and sports, but surely something happened during those years. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:46, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
