(2) Remove wikilink from "Minister of Military" to "Ministry of defence" because they are not the same thing; also, wikilinking only the "Minister of Military" part of the title "Minister of Military and Naval Affairs" has given at least one editor the mistaken impression that "Minister of Military and Naval Affairs" describes not one person but two.

(2) Lower-case common noun "Brigadier general" to "brigadier general" (3) MOS:JOBTITLE: A "Division Officer" is apparently the title of a officer commanding a division, hence capitalized, but "infantry" seems to be an adjectival noun that is not part of the title, hence lower-case: ft "Infantry Division Officer" -> "infantry Division Officer"
