Is there any reason why the page doesn't use his 'Sir' prefix? According to Wikipedia's Order of the Bath page 'Knights Grand Cross and Knights Commander prefix "Sir," and Dames Grand Cross and Dames Commander prefix "Dame," to their forenames.' Unless there's something about his being a baron life peer that changes it. Siberia~enwiki (talk) 17:17, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Wasn't he the last serving officer to have served in WW2? I'm sure it was on the news when he retired. The Soviets also had some elderly generals who were WW2 vets until the late 1980s. Also, wasn't Bramall (aet 22) a very young major by the end of WW2? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.192.0.10 (talk) 14:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
I remember being at a talk by Bramall either 1977 or 78, when he mentioned he joined the army as a private and was promoted to Lance-Corporal for having the best pair of boots in the squad. Obviously we would need a RS to add this but it does not match with the article.Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:49, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Why is there nothing in here, seeing as it has received significant national coverage? Mato (talk) 15:00, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

The article is named Edwin Bramall. Is that appropriate, as he was a life peer and not your average civilian, as the current name implies. Editrite! (talk) 21:21, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
