Comments

This is a nicely written and highly detailed article which meets the GA criteria. Accordingly, my comments are pretty limited:

• "Encountering only one strong North Korean position which they quickly turned" - 'turned' is probably a bit too technical - 'outflanked' perhaps?
• It would be interesting to know more about Walsh's background; it seems surprising that the commander of one of Australia's three regular infantry battalions lacked experience commanding infantry so soon after World War II, when there were dozens of experienced battalion commanders potentially available.
• "given the potential to mask infiltration of their positions." - 'mask' is probably also a bit too technical
• 'offensive support' might also be too technical
• More information on the experiences of the Chinese forces in this battle would be useful, if this is available (which I suspect it isn't; while this engagement was a big deal for the Commonwealth forces, it was a pretty minor affair for the Chinese at this stage of the war)
  • Cheers for these comments. I'll look for a bit more on Walsh and see if I can incorporate it into the article. I pinged User:Jim101 for any additional Chinese content but unfortunately it doesn't appear that any more is available. Anotherclown (talk) 06:18, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
