All references to the London Gazette in this article are now broken due to changes in urls. I will try to convert them when I have time, making use of {{LondonGazette}} which should help maintenance in future. David Underdown 15:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Promotion to captain

I'm not sure the reference given for regimental rank of captain: London Gazette: no. 25615, page 3855, 10 August 1886. Retrieved on 2007-11-07., actually says that - it says he's been seconded, rather than promoted and this later Gazettte http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/ViewPDF.aspx?pdf=25623&geotype=London&gpn=4327&type=ArchivedIssuePage&all=&exact=Francis%20Reginald%20Wingate&atleast=&similar= still refers to him as Lieutentant. Perhaps I'm missing something? I've commented out the promotion in the article text for now. David Underdown 13:34, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
