I'll do this one, comments to follow. Zawed (talk) 09:33, 2 February 2019 (UTC) Infobox[reply]

No issues

Lead

No issues spotted, other than a minor typo that I corrected.

Early life

I replaced his given name with his surname, but other than that this section looks fine.

World War I

"...with the heavier Australian's Mills bombs being out-ranged...": a stray possessive here. Suggest "...with the heavier Mills bombs used by the Australians being outranged...
"Ultimately, the sentence was suspended.": anything in the sources about this? I assume it is because of his status as a VC recipient but would be nice to be clear on this if the sources can support it.

Later life

Is there information on the current whereabouts of the VC?

References

Staunton not cited so should be in a further reading section if it is to remain.
The year of the 1937 Bean reference doesn't need the "a" disambiguator.

Other stuff

Two dab links but these appear to be appropriate
One dupe link, World War I in early life section
External links check out OK
Images appear to have a appropriate licence tags

Other than the above, this looks good for promotion. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 10:06, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I reckon I've got all these, Zawed. I am waiting on a library copy of Staunton to check that I haven't missed anything. Here are my edits. Thanks for taking a look at it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:21, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that there is nothing in the sources about why his sentence was suspended, but I agree it was probably because of his VC. Nothing I can find about the whereabouts of the VC, not at the AWM anyway. Probably with the family I expect. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:24, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

G'day Zawed, just checking you've seen this. I've done as much as I can without Staunton, although Blanch and Pegram have probably captured everything, I will check Staunton for completeness before ACR. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:38, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this looks all good to me, passing as GA since I consider the article meets the necessary criteria. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 22:46, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
