Talk:Henry Colvile

Colvile not Colville

This article is about http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr2001032818.html Colvile, H. E. (Henry Edward), Sir, 1852-1907 (The Library of Congress) Major-General

It has been confused with http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2006016088.html Colville, H. E. (Henry Edward) (The Library of Congress) Colonel with associated dates in the 2000's so looks like either a modern confusion, or a different person.
