Article and hook look good and hook is interesting, although I personally would link "general". I can't understand the source so I'll approve with good faith. —Panamitsu (talk) 10:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

This Wikipedia entry claims that he died of sepsis in WWI. Obviously he kept living and served in WWII. Did he die and come back to life? Can we clean this section so it reads better? 24.206.80.49 (talk) 15:18, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

"During World War I, Edwin was attached to the British V Corps on the Western Front, and he died of septicemia after a surgical operation on 9 April 1918." Edwin is Frederick's brother. JennyOz (talk) 02:06, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
