Will review tomorrow.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:37, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is it customary to use capital letters for "War Crosses"?

Generally no, but in this case "War Cross" is Lutyens' name for the design of his 15 cross-shaped war memorials so I've treated it as a proper noun (the sources do likewise). I'll get round to turning into a blue link at some point. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:35, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I shortened some of the longer sentences but I can't find much fault with this at all, good job!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:23, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good Afternoon! I just read your article and wanted to give you some feedback! I think the article was very informative. Your resources were reliable which helped me feel comfortable with the info and your credibility. I wouldve loved a translation to the Latin inscription on the memorial. In summary, I think you did a great job posting and presenting the info in a professional and unbiased manner! Nmateo1997 (talk) 18:19, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
