This page is much more wiki-like than Sexton, which has hardly any information. Can we move this article to Sexton and Sexton to Sexton (church)?? 66.32.251.152 22:29, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

• I wrote the article and I heartly approve, but others should make the decision. GreatWhiteNortherner 22:56, May 18, 2004 (UTC)

• I have no problem with this article being placed at Sexton. Likely this is what people would be looking for if came here for it. Oberiko 23:37, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

The comment is about sexton being placed well back from the front is not terribly accurate. In the Sogel counterattack sextons endured an attack without the benefit of supporting infantry. They were so mobile that they could arrive on site before the infantry got there and sometimes sextons WERE the front line. The idea at the time was to have the guns right up with the infantry, I believe. -Glenn Spencer barnbum@hotmail.com
