The description of Julius Eggeling given in Pennell2012 reads:

Eggeling, Professor Hans Julius (1842–1918) Professor and Chair of Sanskrit and Comparative Philology at the University of Edinburgh from 1875 to 1914, second holder of its Regius Chair of Sanskrit, and Secretary of the Royal Asiatic Society, London. In August 1914 he left for a vacation in his native Germany. Whilst he was away he was forced to retire from the university owing to his nationality. He was unable to return before his death in 1918.

Compare that with the wikipedia version which reads:

Hans Julius Eggeling (1842–1918) was Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Edinburgh from 1875 to 1914, second holder of its Regius Chair of Sanskrit, and Secretary of the Royal Asiatic Society, London. Eggeling was translator and editor of the Satapatha Brahmana in 5 volumes[1] of the monumental Sacred Books of the East series edited by Max Müller, author of the main article on Sanskrit in the Encyclopædia Britannica, and curator of the University Library from 1900 to 1913. In August 1914 he left for a vacation in his native Germany; because of World War I, he was unable to return before his death in 1918.
