Very good article. The Rambling Man 11:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I understand there is some disagreement about the circumstances of Capper's death.  I had heard that he was shot by a sniper while in a captured communication trench, but that his aorta was punctured leading to almost instant death, rather than dying next day from a wound to the lungs.  His body was carried back by his ADC.  However there are other accounts.  I am not an expert on this topic - I am in fact researching a Rifleman in 1/KRRC who were also involved in the attacks on The Quarries during which Capper fell.  Much pertinent discussion is available on the Great War Forum ( www.1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/) if you run a search on "Capper".  There you will find a lot of detailed references to the source material.  I recommend another contributor research this more thoroughly.
Cheers,

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I realise that it wasn't very long ago it recieved its listing, but for completeness I have reassessed it anyway. I have made a couple of minor copyedits, and the comment above concerning the facts of Capper's death would be worth following up, but I believe the article still meets GA criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, EyeSereneTALK 13:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
