Talk:Freddie de Guingand

Lead gives Generals at War as 1954, but body and Bibliography give 1964

The article is internally inconsistent about the publication year of de Guingand's book Generals at War.

The lead states:

He wrote four books about his experiences: Operation Victory (1947), African Assignment (1953), Generals at War (1954), and From Brass Hat to Bowler Hat (1979).

The Business career section says:

De Guingand later published three more books, African Assignment (1953) about his pre-war experiences in Nyasaland, Generals at War (1964) about the Second World War and From Brass Hat to Bowler Hat (1979) about his post-war experiences

And the Bibliography section's citation template gives year=1964 with oclc=878525462.

The body and the full citation agree on 1964, so the "1954" in the lead appears to be a typo. The lead should be corrected to read Generals at War (1964) to match the rest of the article. KilyigBot (talk) 08:21, 20 October 2026 (UTC)
