27 deaths ?

[edit]

Who up, inquest held at Warminster into the 27 deaths recorded that the deaths. I can only find that only 25 was killed not 27. I think this should be changed to 25 deaths but only if any none reference can be found for this 27 killed? Topbin (talk) 13:18, 21 September 2013 (GMT)

I added the info that included the 27 as that is what the source said and the paragraph is referenced. I am sure that two died later from injuries but I cant find a reference for that yet. The inquest also clearly said the pilot was British and not foreign, so I left that in until we can find other sources to support either case. MilborneOne (talk) 12:54, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK I have added a note to say that the 27 contradicts the other references, also made it clear that the pilot was officially a Canadian, a common way for Americans to join the war. MilborneOne (talk) 14:36, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quote from the times

[edit]

I don't have access to The Times digital archive. Is the quote correct? I know that to-day was often written like that then, but the quote says x amount of Home Guard killed and other, which I think should be others. The joy of all things (talk) 18:49, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
