... that The London Gazette mistakenly recorded Francis Rebow as becoming a regiment's second major instead of lieutenant-colonel, resulting in him being promoted to lieutenant-colonel a second time?

Improved to Good Article status by Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 23:32, 31 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Francis Slater Rebow; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Actually, I can do better "... that a misreport led to Francis Slater Rebow being promoted to Lieutenant-colonel twice?" Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:39, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Promoted to GA on May 25, so naturally fulfills article requirement. Hook is interesting, in the article, and sourced. Seems good to go to me. If the shorter hook above runs, lieutenant-colonel should be lowercase. Normsupon (talk) 23:40, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
