Dates confusing[edit]

RE: "He sailed for France in October 1918 and joined the 108th Field Artillery at Véronnes. He participated in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and commanded the 108th Field Artillery in the Battle of the Sambre, earning promotion to temporary Lieutenant Colonel on September 11, 1918."

If he sailed to France in Oct, fought at Sambre (which was Nov), how'd that earn him a promotion in Sept? These part is CONFUSING and needs reworked. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More..."December 1941 following the sudden death of Major General George A. White he became commander of the 41st Infantry Division. He was promoted to the temporary rank of Major General on December 15, 1944.[2]" He was in command of a division for 3 years before he got a permanent promotion? — Rlevse • Talk • 12:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More...gaping hole of what he did after WWII. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Typo. It should read "1941". I've re-worded the other paragraph. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Birth[edit]

Horace H. Fuller and George A. White were born the same date and place? — Rlevse • Talk • 12:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assess[edit]

I've assessed this article as Start, with B2=no, pending resolution of the date questions and post-WWII life (but feel free to change it if you disagree). Ejosse1 (talk) 21:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
