Talk:Henry Rawlinson, 1st Baron Rawlinson

message: In the introduction it says " he is best known for the Battle of Amien ", i would argue he is best known for being the commander of the Fourth Army in 1918 and all its battles before and after Amien.Bullseye30 (talk) 17:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Tryde removed :Category:Baronets in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom, claiming that since Rawlinson was elevated to the peerage "he should only be categorized under his higher title".  I see no reason for this.  I don't see anything at the category page or any of its supercategories to indicate that it's reserved for those who hold no higher title than Baronet.  Rawlinson was a baronet, and remained one to his death, even if nobody would call him "Sir Henry" once he'd been baroned. So why shouldn't he be in that category as well as that of the Baronage?  -- Zsero (talk) 20:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

message: There seem to be various inaccuracies in this article. For example, Rawlinson did not serve in Gallipoli, and the dating of his taking command of Fourth Army is wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.55.76 (talk) 10:37, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I have just watched Peter and Dan Snow's 20th Century Battlefields, Episode "1918 Western Front".  Towards the end of this documentary, Rawlinson is credited as being the general who was willing to embrace new technology and to break out from the stalemate of trench warfare.  It was this innovation which led to "the blackest day" (Ludendorff) for the German army when entire units began to surrender and he had his nervous breakdown and advised the Kaiser to sue for peace.
I feel that the profile of this remarkable man could be raised in this regard.89.240.165.230 (talk) 09:54, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Higher Profile as the man who won the Battle for the Western Front? 

message: While this article goes in detail plenty of criticism of Rawlinson for his conduct on the first day of the somme(1st July). It fails to establish that the Somme actually lasted far longer and during the entire campaign Rawlison led many successful operations and pushed innnovation. For example he organised the first large scale night attack in the history of modern warfare, he also organised a successful attack on an position which the French had deemed ‘impregnable’. Some more balance is needed in the portrayal this commander, who was easily one of the best on the Allied side.Ben200 (talk) 16:51, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
