Rating

I have completed the B class checklist on this article and believe that it almost meets the criteria for B class. As military history project does not have a C class, unfortunately it therefore must be ranked as a Start class. There are a number of paragraphs without in-line citations in the section above the list. If these could be added in the article could probably be re-assessed. I would suggest possibly also consolidating the prose in this part, as there are a few one sentence paragraphs that could be combined. Once this has been done, you might like to get it re-assessed by adding it to the list at WP:MHA. Hope this helps. AustralianRupert (talk) 14:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Australian" generals

The list now contains two officers who held the rank of lieutenant general in the Australian Army without being Australians; Squires and Birdwood. Note that neither held the rank of major general in the Australian Army AFAIK. Hawkeye7 (talk) 05:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What do we know about Edward Hutton (British Army officer)?

Chief of Army (Australia) says he was Lt Gen, but Bryce suggests that may not be the case.

From the Gazette entries I can trace, he was promoted Lt Gen (in the British Army) on 7 November 1907[1], and retired on 26 December 1907.[2]. It's just possible he was given the rank of Lt Gen within Australia, but I would expect the substantive promotion to Lt Gen to say some thing like Maj-Gen (local Lt-Gen) in that case.
