Talk:Roden Cutler

message: Cutler's knighthood in the Order of Australia was gazetted on 7 April 1981.  Two months later, on the Queen's Birthday, Sir Garfield Barwick also got an AK.  Any idea why Cutler's was given out of the usual sequence - Australia Day and Queen's Birthday.  If Barwick was getting one on the QB anyway, why was Cutler's award made early?  --  JackofOz (talk) 12:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

This sounds very, very dubious to me. From 1633 Japanese merchants were banned from leaving Japan, and foreign trade was resticted to one port - Nagasaki.

:There is no disrespect to the subject of the article as postnominals are used in the opening sentence of the article. It is Wikipedia convention that the information in the infobox should be kept to a minimum and as his awards are already present, there is no need to use postnominals in the infobox (particularly for military personnel).

thread_title:  Post Nominals 

message: I always assumed that 'Jacka' was some sort of Eastern European surname but in fact it orginates in Cornwall, a Celtic province that is counted by some people as part of England but by others as a country in its own right. I was going to put into the article, after the mention of his parent's names, "The family was of Cornish descent" but I am not sure whether this fact is really important enough for inclusion (and I am not even Australian), so I will leave others to judge. On the one hand, I doubt if I am the only one to think that the name 'Jacka' looks like it is Polish or Czech or something and make a false assumption about Albert's family background. On the other hand, does it really matter where a True Blue Aussie's family came from? 
Anyway, here are some sites confirming that 'Jacka' is a Cornish surname:

http://www.cornish-surnames.org.uk/surnames/j.php

Talk:Margaret Douglas

message: Don't think I've ever read that Lady Margaret Douglas had a son as a result of her dalliance (marriage?) with Lord Thomas Howard.  Has anyone else heard of this "Robert Howard"?  If he indeed existed, wouldn't he have been considered one of the principal claimants to the throne during the reigns of Mary I and Elizabeth I?  Why then, is he not more prominently mentioned in histories of that time?
This article claims Robert Howard was "protected by his uncle, the 3rd Duke of Norfolk" during the "Tudor Threat," a vague-sounding event that I've also never heard of.  I'm no Tudor historian or scholar, but I have read several books about the era.  Must say, I'm more than a little doubtful of Robert's existence, and wonder if this isn't somebody's attempt to create a personal (bogus) genealogical link to the English royal family. - CassieBlue 23:33, 17 June 2006
:I researched this online, and could find no support for another son born to Margaret as a result of her affair or (secret marriage?) with Thomas Howard.  Because there is no evidence to support this, I edited that part out of the article.  If someone else can show proof that this "Robert Howard" existed, they can put him back into the article.  - CassieBlue 10:02, 22 June 2006

The 39-45 Star was only awarded for operational service, and service wholly within Australia would not have counted (although it would have seen an entitlement to the War Medal 1939–1945).

Corporal Thomas Leslie Axford VC MM, who was born in South Australia and enlisted in Western Australia on 19 July 1915. On 4 May 1918 he was awarded the Military Medal, either for actions during the enemy's Spring Offensive, or during the allied counterattacks such as the Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, to which the 4th Brigade was heavily committed. Axford received the Victoria Cross for actions on 4 July 1918 against an emplacement of several machine guns at Vaire Wood during the Battle of Hamel and for closely approaching enemy trenches in preparations prior to that battle. He was wounded twice but survived the First World War.Axford went on to serve during the Second World War at what was known at different times as Headquarters Western Australia Line of Communication Area, III Corps or Headquarters Western Command.
