Nominator(s): Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:38, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Nimmo served in WWI as a light horse officer, in WWII commanding several brigades, with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan commanding the Australian infantry brigade, and then Northern Command back in Australia as a major general. He had virtually reached retirement age when he was picked as the chief military observer with the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan, a position he held from 1950 until his death in 1966. He was described as "by far the most successful United Nations observer ever", was the first Australian to command a multinational peacekeeping force, and his command of UNMOGIP remains the longest ever command of a UN mission. This year marks the 75th anniversary of Australia's first involvement in peacekeeping operations, and as a peacekeeper myself I thought I'd bring this one up to scratch as a way of commemorating that milestone. It just underwent a GAN by Hawkeye7, and just passed Milhist A-Class review. Have at it! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:38, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't have that problem with Nimmo, but I don't know what is going on there with the others. Thanks for taking a look. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:05, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This article is in good shape. I have the following comments.

  • I'd suggest removing the quotes from the first para of the lead to slim it down a bit; maybe just note that he performed well during the war or similar
OK, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Nimmo' is used too frequently across the article (e.g. in successive sentences without anyone else being named, and twice in at least one sentence)
Replaced a few. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "He attended a 10-day gas training course near Cairo in Egypt in early September then returned to his regiment" - is this needed? These types of short courses would have been routine and the reference is to his NAA file.
Sure, I had left it there to ensure he wasn't credited with being involved in any battle during that time, but there wasn't anything of significance. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Nimmo's wife Peggy was killed in a fall at The Gap" - the sources probably don't discuss this, but was this an accident or suicide? The Gap has always been one of the leading places in Sydney for suicides, tragically.
Yes, I know. There is nothing to confirm if it was a suicide, although it seems likely. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "he was promoted to temporary brigadier, and posted to command the 4th Cavalry Brigade" - perhaps note that by this stage the 'cavalry' units were motorised?
Good point, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The para starting with 'On 10 February 1942' is a bit lengthy, especially as it covers a lot of ground - I'd suggest splitting it.
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do we know why he was picked to command the 34th Brigade? As the only active brigade in the post-war army and the only one that was intended to serve overseas for a lengthy period (in a role that required good military and diplomatic skills), this would have been a much sought-after posting. Nimmo was presumably considered one of the best brigade commanders in an Army that by now had lots that had led these units in combat.
I did wonder about that, but of course he was permanent army, so perhaps he was among the best of the permanent brigadiers? Nothing in sources I can find though. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Similarly, why did he only serve in this role for a shortish period?
I suspect that as he had been a brigadier since January 1942 (temporary), he was due for promotion. He got them ready, dealt with the mutiny and got them there, deployed and set up, so I figure he had probably done a job of work, and BCOF was pretty pedestrian in terms of the day-to-day. Nothing in sources though. Such stuff might lie in the files of the Military Secretary. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm a bit surprised that the official history of Australian peacekeeping hasn't been consulted, though as its authors wrote the ADB entry it might not add much. The official history has some pretty sharp analysis and criticism, and is available online via the Cambridge Core service which can be accessed through the Wikipedia Library service. Nick-D (talk) 05:47, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, access was my main problem (no copies in the state or uni libraries here in SA), which you have solved. I will consult it, but I doubt there will be a lot, as you say. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I stand corrected. There was plenty, now added. All done now I reckon, Nick-D. See what you think. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:01, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That all looks great, and I'm pleased to support. Nick-D (talk) 09:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Recusing to review.

  • It may just be me and this is not a deal breaker, but the lead seems disproportionately long.
I'm not seeing it. I don't think there is much fat in there, but open to suggestions about trimming. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:40, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On a brief skim, I don't see that either the article or the lead would suffer from losing:
"reaching the rank of major ... was promoted to lieutenant colonel and ... promoted to major general and ..."
I don't get the idea that you wouldn't include significant promotions in the lead to show his progress through the ranks. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:40, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your call. But to me in, eg, "he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and served as a senior staff officer with the headquarters of two cavalry divisions" the information of interest to both the uninitiated and aficionados is from "served" on; etc.
"His performance as chief military observer was such that"
Sure, deleted. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:40, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"his funeral"
Trimmed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:40, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am sure there is more. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:07, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The Southport School". The MoS suggests that "The word the at the start of a name is uncapitalized, regardless of the institution's own usage".
OK, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:40, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • A piddling point, but "and there was some friendly fire from a British destroyer which also caused some casualties"; "... then ... then ...". Perhaps delete the second, as I am not sure what it adds?
Sure, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:40, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The account of the fighting around the Echelon Trenches, fascinating and well written as it is, seems to get well into "going into unnecessary detail". Contrast the 324 words on this one day, with the account of the period 20.12.15 - 12.12.18; 505 words with no mention of Nimmo getting as close as long rifle shot of an Ottoman and with weeks of hard fighting covered by "Following participation in the successful Battle of Beersheba on 31 October and Third Battle of Gaza in early November, Nimmo's regiment was part of the force that pursued the Ottoman forces north, and helped capture Jerusalem."
I'm in the process of adding some more detail on the Palestine campaign to even this out, but have trimmed this account a bit. See what you think. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:00, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "which slowed their return to the Australian line which occurred"; "... which ... which ..."
"deleted a which. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "was appointed as regimental adjutant and appointed as a temporary captain". Delete the second use of "appointed"?
reworded, removing the second "appointed". Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "because he no longer performing his". Has a "was" gone walkabout?
Yep, fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "He was admitted to a hospital in Alexandria". Optional: delete "a".
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:45, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "a most gallant and able leader". Is the "gallant" part based solely on his record at Gallipoli, as subsequently he seems to have filled mostly, or perhaps entirely, rear-echelon roles.
No, while he was probably most able to display gallantry as a troop commander at Gallipoli, he was also a squadron commander for nearly a year from July 1917. Light horse squadron commanders were definitely in the thick of it, akin to an infantry company commander. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So, you know that, I know that, but how is a reader meant to deduce it?
I've added a few words to highlight that he led B Squadron through the named battles and the pursuit, but I'm not sure how else I am supposed to do that. I will look at the official history and see if there is anything I missed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:42, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The change just about does it. Will the sources stretch to something like "Nimmo led his squadron during fierce fighting in the ..." or even "Nimmo led his squadron during the fiercely fought battles of ..."? Obviously a sentence or two mentioning his direct involvement in combat, similar to that re Gallipoli, would round things out. But if that just doesn't exist you can't help that. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:07, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
G'day Gog, I think the detail and additions in the Sinai and Palestine campaign section now cover this adequately. Thoughts? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:56, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That looks fine. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:19, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The paragraph starting "In late June 1918 Nimmo spent" seems unduly long. 🤔 start a new one at "His record with the 5th Light Horse Regiment was"?
Sure, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "He was also the inspector general of communications for the division." Absolutely optional, but I for one would be interested in a footnote explaining just what this entailed.
Added a sentence fragment, basically he was responsible for the rear echelon logistics of the division, which makes sense given he was AA&QMG. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:53, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • " his previous role as brigade major of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, before reprising another previous role as Assistant Adjutant & Quartermaster General of the 2nd Cavalry Division". Why lower-case initials for "brigade major", but upper case for "Assistant Adjutant & Quartermaster General"; it seems inconsistent.
Hmmm. Yes, it is. My staff duties strikes again. I think that the WP MOS indicates positions should be lowercase unless they are directly followed by the name of the person fulfilling the role, so I'll lowercase them all, which I have now done, I think. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:53, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "He was devastated, and on 28 April the Army posted him to Brisbane". It seems odd to have this in one sentence. Perhaps move the first three words to the previous sentence, after a semi colon?
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "He administered command of". What does this mean?
Essentially to perform the role without being posted into it. Usually the second-in-command or senior staff officer acts as the commander in their absence, sometimes while they are on leave, and sometimes when the position is temporarily vacant. Also usually when the person administering command isn't of the correct rank to be appointed to command. In this case, GOC NT Force was a major-general posting, and Nimmo was a brigadier. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yes. But could we either summarise this for the reader or use a form of words which may be less precisely nuanced but will convey what Nimmo was actually doing?
I added "in the absence its appointed commander", do you think this is enough? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:34, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So long as you add an 'of', sure. ;-)
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:15, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • " he was posted as Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General in the headquarters of". Again, why the upper-case initials?
Fixed now. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "general officer commanding Northern Command and District Commandant". Why upper-case initials for the last two words?
Also fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The citation read". Any reason this is in the past tense?
No, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's all I have. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:28, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers Gog, all done except the trim of the Gallipoli bit, which I'm mulling over and will take a crack at this weekend. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gog, I've now had a stab at trimming the Gallipoli bit. See what you think? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:00, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. That will do. See comment above in green. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:14, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've addressed the remaining point now. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:56, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
