Broken sentence?[edit]

I draw attention to what appears to be a broken sentence with text that may be missing - note abrupt appearance of two citation marks - as well as a succeeding sentence whose information might be worked into the phrasing of the first sentence:

He ^[1]^[2] at Targau POW Camp.^[3] He was captured by the Germans and interned in a prisoner of war camp.

Stubborn Red Link[edit]

There is an article on St Michael's Church, Madeley in wikipedia but my attempt to link it to the mention in this article has so far been unsuccessful, leaving a red link that (wrongly in this case) implies the article does not exist. Can someone help remedy this?Cloptonson (talk) 12:12, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Not sure why you had a problem... --MChew (talk) 15:40, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Claimed birthplace needs checking[edit]

He grew up in Madeley where his father was rector, which may give rise to understanding he was born there. However, a few years ago I read that according to someone whose research was reported in the Shropshire Star newspaper, Yate was recorded on a census to have been born in Germany where his parents were staying apparently. Without the news item to hand, I cannot alter it. Given the anti-German sentiment that swept English society during WWI it is probably understandable that the fact may have been a less comfortable one to broadcast, for fear of the family being perceived to be pro-enemy. I wonder where the birth registration indexes, which would give his full Christian names, place him?Cloptonson (talk) 07:02, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
