Talk:The Four Feathers

square?

The article keeps mentioning a 'British square' and the square being broken. I'm assuming this is some sort of military term. A little bit of explanation for the terminology like that would be helpful, though. It's hard to know why the square being broken is a big deal without any hint as to what a square is, why is was used, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.216.160 (talk) 14:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

The first use of the term is linked to the article Infantry square, which gives a detailed explanation. --Meyer (talk) 08:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The entry for rhe novel Four Feathers is mistaken and whoever wrote it seems not to have read or understood the book. The protagonist, Harry Feversham, resigned from the army to avoid going to Egypt in 1882, the war with Arabi, not in 1898, the campaign that led to the battle of Omdurman.

Feversham/Faversham

Reading the articles on the various films inspired by the novel, I note that the name of the main character (Harry Feversham) is nearly always given as Harry Faversham. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the section on the films. AstroLynx (talk) 11:53, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
