Jervis-Read

Some sources incorrectly identify Anthony Read (British Army officer) as the original head of this section. I think this dates to Holt's 2004 book (which is the first example I can find). In fact, it was J.V.B Jervis-Read, not J. A. Jervis-Read, who was head of the section. The absolute proof of this is a) Anthony Jervis-Read's career which went nowhere near London in this period and b) J.V.B Jervis-Read's OBE citation which identifies his involvement with Ops (B) during Operation Fortitude. --Errant ^(chat!) 12:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

You realise that you could have just nominated for Featured List? Anyhow...

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
In July, Wild won a power struggle Of which year?

General Frederick E. Morgan should be Lieutenant General Frederick E. Morgan

appointed OBE link OBE. Better still, expand and put the abbreviation in parentheses. Also, a think an indefinite article is required.

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Jervis-Read had joined the Royal Engineers from university, as a 2nd Lieutenant Link "2nd Lieutenant" and remove the capital; this is only required when it is being used as a title

he held the rank of Colonel As above

then a Major etc
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. Has an appropriate reference section:

B. Citations to reliable sources, where necessary:

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
Their major contribution was to Operations Cockade and Bodyguard but I'm none the wiser as to what they actually did.

Lieutenant Colonel Roger Fleetwood Hesketh TD, DL, OBE (28 July 1902 – 14 November 1987) Why is his date of birth and death here but but no one else's? Whu sis his father importnat if he's not notable?

His later career was similar to that of Barnes Actually, his career was similar before. Both were cavalry officers on the staff at West Point. Barnes transferred to the USAF in 1947, while Barnes remained in the Army, and died in Vietnam.

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
