Sorry it's taking me this long to get to this, wound up being way busier than I thought I would be.

• "Having served for four years in the senior cadets" - what exactly was the senior cadets? Is this a pre-military school, a local militia group, or something else?

In 1911, universal service for boys 12 to 18 (and adults to 26) was introduced in Australia, it continued until 1929. The senior cadets were the older ones (14-18). Linked to Conscription in Australia#Universal Service Scheme. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:25, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

• Was he also made a Lt. Col. in the AIF? Or did his rank in the Militia automatically transfer over?

The former, clarified. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:32, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

• How many guns did the 2/7 have?
• "its participation in the campaign was broken up into two primary operations: the Battle of Tarakan, a landing on Tarakan; and Operation Oboe Six, a landing on Brunei, and the Battle of Labuan on Labuan" - So was Labuan part of Oboe Six?

Amended very clunky prose, hopefully clearer now. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:30, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

• Is cause of death known

Not in sources. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:30, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

• Publishing location of Keat Gin?

Added. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:30, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

• A number of the listed news sources don't seem to be used, should they be removed?

Yes, I'm developing it towards an ACR nom, so they are part of the work. I can move them to further reading for now, but it seems a bit pointless. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:30, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Looks to be in quite good shape. Hog Farm _Talk 07:01, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Meets all of the criteria at this point, promoting. Hog Farm _Talk 22:05, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
