The New Sections (3+1) February 2018.

As you may note I added Three Sections last week, thinking their facts are valuable, adding to the article ... and I placed them at the End of The Article. Sitting at the end of the article, they could be attractive to someone 'with a real interest' in the subject, not taking away from the Story of the Battle: The Assault and 41 RM Cdo.

A little detailed ... I was going to clean them a little, confirming a couple of facts, needing a second reference (which I have) and adding some clarity to a few details. And modifying the format in two sections ... to reduce the indents. This week I added a fourth Section: D+1 ... as a Bridge/ Lead-in to the Assault Section. And I added a 'last' paragraph in Background to tie the 3+1 New Sections together.

Would it be possible to consider 'REreformatting' and putting the x3 Sections: The Objective / The Radars (thanks for the image) / The Defenders at the end of the Article? I would then 'clean' them up ... and you could decide what to do, keep it as it might be set-out or have a very big 'Background'?

I am not 'experienced' enough to comment on Sections with (Big) Subsections, Thanks for the Consideration. KWS PEI 17.Feb.2018 — Preceding unsigned comment added by KWS PEI (talk • contribs) 22:21, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Notes Section March 2018

As you will note the change I requested above was made and I have begun to edit the Three Notes 'now' at the bottom of the Article. I have cleaned somewhat The Objective, looking for a couple more links, and have additional detail to add to The Radars and The Defenders.

I will try an automatic signature this time? KWS PEI 00:37, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

'Black Watch, 5th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland'

With respect, unless this refers to a Canadian unit of which I am unaware, The Royal Regiment of Scotland only came into being in 2006.

I assume the unit in question was the 5th Battalion, The Black Watch, a British territorial unit that formed part of the 51st Highland Division.

"Vollfestungsmäßig Groß Suchstellung"

The term barely makes any sense, it's certainly not standard German. Is the term overwhelmingly used in English-language literature? In this case it wouldn't be a German term at all, and everything goes.

Otherwise it should be fixed. Unfortunately, as I said it barely makes any sense, so there is no obvious fix. Maybe "vollfestungsmäßige große Suchstellung", but even that would be an awkward term. --84.132.148.245 (talk) 14:26, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Missing reference

@GraemeLeggett: Your edit of this article here added a reference — {{Sfn|Saunders|2012|p=185}} — that does not point to a citation. Can this error be fixed? —GoldRingChip 21:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
