Correction of date of death edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The date of Arthur's death was given here earlier as the 12 September 1918. However, Flight Magazine reported his death within their issue on 12th September 1918; his service record confirms the 2nd as being correct, per Catalogue Ref: AIR/76/269 - IMAGE 150.

Correction of Name edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

George, You were correct after all. It was thought that Arthur's correct 'second' name was William as this was reflected within most official (RFC/RAF)documentation. After further research within the family archive it seems that Willan was a family name used on his mother's side. I have edited the entry to reflect this new information.

Additionally, I have also amended his Date of Death. The date within documentation and indeed his gravestone is the 2nd September 1918, not the 12th.

Kind regards, --Hotstart54 (talk) 09:12 28th April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the correction. When I created this article, I used what I considered to be the most authoritative source I could find to establish Major Keen's middle name...and I was obviously wrong. It's good to see the right info included. Thanks.
