New Zealand born troops serving for Australia

There is some confusion as to whether they should appear on the Australian and New Zealand list. They should appear on both lists. Wallie (talk) 10:06, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Small observation

Just noticed that this sentence: "As of 2007, his Victoria Cross was in private hands." appears at the end of the 2nd para and again at the very end of the article, not sure if that's intentional, probably doesn't need to be repeated twice. πιππίνυ δ - (dica) 09:53, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your interest! Hope you enjoyed reading the article. The way it works, anything in the lead section (the bit at the top) has to be based on what is in the body (the rest), and the bit in the body has to be footnoted to the source of the info. That is quite standard on Wikipedia. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:06, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for explaining. I did enjoy it. πιππίνυ δ - (dica) 11:56, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
