H. T. Cadbury-Brown
[edit]- ... that British architect H. T. Cadbury-Brown served with the Royal Artillery in the war but did not fire a shot from Normandy to Germany?

Excellent well-cited article; length, date OK; hook confirmed by online reference. But I think we should specify which war, and maybe clarify the hook. How about:
- ALT1 ... that British architect H. T. Cadbury-Brown served with the Royal Artillery in the Second World War but made it all the way from Normandy to Germany without firing a shot?
- I agree with your suggestion, the shortened "war" kind of works within the context of the article (although I will now change it) but it is unclear which war it refers to when used with the DYK. Are you able to make the amendment to the DYK or do I do it? Thanks. Kenchikuben (talk) 16:06, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
