Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the Wikipedia:good article criteria, with suggestions for future development. These are not required to achieve GA standard, but they might help in future A-class or FAC review process.

- No problems, although consider using third level (===) headings to break up the text on his First World War service.
- I have used third level headings for the "Victoria Cross" and "Later war service" sections. Do you mean his earlier service during the war? Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 23:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

- Although complete enough, I'd be interested to see more information on his service in the Boer War (what was the "action" that he saw?), his service 1902-1914 in the Australian army and subsequently in 1919-1941 (where was he posted and what appointments did he hold?) As well as on his police service (Which force was he with?).--Jackyd101 (talk) 15:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- I wish I could further improve these areas, but all of the information in the article is as much as I was able to gather from all of my sources. However, I can clarify that it was the Tasmanian Police Force. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 23:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
