CBE

I presume the CBE after his name means Commander of the Order of the British Empire, which could only have been an honorary award seeing as he was not a British subject. Various other sites also have CBE, but nothing I can find gives any details of when the award was made, or why. Can anyone verify this award? -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 12:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I've asked the editor who added the letters where he/she got them from. I'm thinking the external sites may well be mirrors of Wikipedia, and this may be a case of vandalism, or well-intended human error (AGF). We wait to hear from the anon about this. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 21:55, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

In the meantime, I have opted to remove CBE from the article - see Talk:Order of the British Empire#Honorary appointments below Knight/Dame, where I'm advised a thorough search of the London Gazette, where all honorary appointments to British order of chivalry are formally promulgated, has failed to find a record of any such appointment. If the original editor can come up with a source that somehow overrides the Gazette, it can be restored. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 19:59, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Year of birth

A number of sources, including IMDB and our sister language versions, say he was born in 1899, not 1898. Is there a reliable source for either date? -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 20:06, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

The California Death Index lists 1898. Crisso (talk) 22:53, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
