The article's last paragraph is confusing. Surely subaltern is a hunior army rank, in which case his acquiring a love of cricket would have occurred before his period of great success as a batsman rather than after it. JH (talk page) 11:18, 29 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Jhansi brigade

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article says Poore led the Jhansi Brigade in World War I, but if you follow the link it only discusses the participation of the brigade in World War II. I have no knowledge of this area, but maybe the editors who wrote this FA might? Opus33 (talk) 18:35, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
