There is something seriously wrong here

The article has him down as being a Scot, born in Strathpeffer, Scotland, Yet in April of this year a Commemorative flagstone was laid down for him in Brighouse, England, saying he was born there. It's the Government who decide where the commemorative stones go, i.e. their birthplace. See:- https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/brighouse-war-hero-awarded-victoria-cross-given-lasting-memorial-1-9127099

He cannot be born in two places at once and if Born in Brighouse he is English not Scottish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.216.145 (talk) 14:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Any relation?

This distinctive surname was notable for many years in the West End theatre. Is he any relation to any of the theatrcal Forbes-Robertsons? It's the first question many would be asking. Valetude (talk) 21:26, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
