Expansion and rewrite

[edit]

I have expanded and rewritten this article on the following grounds:

(1) Incompleteness The existing article contained little or no mention of:

  • his early life
  • the Transcaspian dimension to his 1918 mission to Central Asia
  • his change of identity in 1922 and the context to his subsequent work as an intelligence officer
  • his death and the revelation of his true identity

(2) Internal links I have added these to explain a number of contextual references

(3) Sources No sources are mentioned in the existing article although it clearly draws heavily on Peter Hopkirk's work, quoting him verbatim in places without attribution.

(4) A minor error The date of his death was stated as Nov 22 1988. According to Hopkirk, (who ought to know as he wrote his second obituary), he died on Nov 16. Nov 22 was the date of his the first obituary in The Times under the name Ronald Sinclair. Camel droppings (talk) 06:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
