Posthumous CMG[edit]

We say the King "had intended to make him a CMG". The wording "had intended" suggests that Leake's death intervened and the award was never made. But we show him as a "posthumous CMG", which suggests the award was made. The "It's an Honour" reference says the award was made on 26 June 1902, two days after his death. So, it was indeed made and it was indeed posthumous. We need to follow "... had intended to make him a CMG" with "and made this award posthumously", otherwise it gives quite a misleading impression to a casual reader. -- JackofOz (talk) 21:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Year or birth – 1847 or 1856?[edit]

It can't be both. Chris the speller ^yack 16:01, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
