Talk:Arthur Merriman

Untitled

As noted in the edit summary, i've been trying to find the Gazette for his OBE, but without some idea of when it was awarded, it's a bit needle in hay-stack. I did however find a Gazette noting his appointment as a Deputy Lieutenant, which also gave a nice long string of postnomials. There are also these two other Gazette entries: [1][2] which suggest he was also awarded the DFC at some point - since there's only one Merriman listed as holding a GC (I also found a few entries for another Arthur D Merriman, who was a Royal Navy engineer officer). There's also this Gazette [3] which suggests WWI service in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps which would fit age-wise. All this is verging on Original Research of course. If we could find an obit, it might help. David Underdown (talk) 11:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Well for better or worse I've integrated this into the article now, since I found the OBE gazette. David Underdown (talk) 13:21, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks good, it is all cited as far as I can see. I don't see any WP:OR or WP:SYN in there, just researched material. Well done!! Thanks for all your hard work, it is good to see how some "speedied" articles can be retained. :) Woodym555 (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Very, very pleasing, well done everyone. DuncanHill (talk) 09:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

If you buy a copy of my book, Come if ye Dare, Arthur Merriman's story is told in full for the first time, including the answers to the decorations he gained. Terry Hissey —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.106.3.227 (talk) 00:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
