Talk:Charity Bick

English?

Seriously, her nationality was English? Not British? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.7.21 (talk) 20:10, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

DoB

If Bick lied about her age, she was born in 1926 not 1924, and was 14, not 16, when she received her medal; and 75 not 77, when she died.

The cited source for her DoB is from a body that would have had the false age recorded. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:47, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Having seen this, I went to read the article. I saw the Blue Plaque, and immediately read it as "Lying History Group", instantly deducing that there is a specialist subject group for unreliable narrators and youthful age-changers. (Perhaps there is. Would they lie to you?) -- Verbarson  ^talk_edits 19:46, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Now resolved, at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities#Charity Bick: DoB. Born 19 December 1925. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:50, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Youngest recipient

I've left a note on Talk:George Medal#Youngest recipient - there seems to be some vagueness here and it's possible that while Bick was the youngest recipient for some time, there are two boys in the 1950s both of whom may be younger. Something for further investigation. Andrew Gray (talk) 22:14, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
