• there is one duplicate link in the lead for the VC, but in the circumstances that makes sense to me (no action required)
• there is a duplicate link for the DCM in the Later life section, but if you introduce the abbreviation when Distinguished Conduct Medal is first mentioned, it can be resolved

• Fixed.

• Ext links all work (no action required)
• No dab links (no action required)
• in the lead, he resumed his civilian career as a banker --> perhaps "he returned to Australia and resumed his civilian career as a banker"

• Done.

• before transferring to the Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery on 5 October 1918: do we know why he was transferred? Was it by his request?

• None of the sources say.

• Sullivan was hospitalised at Bulford between late November 1918 and early March 1919: do we know what for?

• VD. Do you think I should include it?

• Good question. Probably depends what level of coverage it has received in third party sources. If it is just from the service record, I'd probably just say "hospitalised due to an illness". Thoughts? AustralianRupert (talk) 09:00, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

• I only just got Quinlivian from the library (in prep for ACR), so haven't checked it yet. I think I'll leave it as "illness" for now. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:23, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

• No worries, good idea. AustralianRupert (talk) 09:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

• He was attracted by the prospect of a tour of active duty with the North Russia Relief Force (NRRF) as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War: perhaps say here that Australian units weren't being sent to explain why he had to enlist in the British Army?

Done.

• their continued involvement had poorly defined objectives --> "their involvement continued albeit with poorly defined objectives"
• He was the eldest son of the 8th Duke of Richmond: "the" probably doesn't need to be part of the link here
• Sullivan had another reason to want to travel to the UK: I wonder if this shouldn't be joined to the previous sentence with a conjunction
• Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery on 31 January: perhaps provide the year here
• in the Further reading section, for the Quinlivian source, "Frenchs Forest", suggest providing the state as well for consistency with the entries above
• "File:Arthursullivan.JPG": probably should use the PD-AustraliaGov licence

• All done, AR. Here are my edits. Just a query about the VD. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:55, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
