Do we really need a table for Commander of ABDACOM when only one person ever held the position? It would be like having a "list" of Confederate Presidents.

There is a discussion going on
here whether or not the first sentence of a biographical article should contain the full name of the individual and include any post nominal initials (eg.
VC,
KCB,
OBE) or whether these should be relegated to later in the article. I have tried to point out that this is standard style and part of their full titles but there are “readability” concerns. This arose because of the
Richard O’Connor featured article and one possible solution, a biobox, is now in place on that page. Please make your opinions known.

There's a new biography of Wavell.
There's quite a good summary of Wavell: Soldier and Statesman by Victoria Schofield · John Murray, published in the London Review of Books: Vol. 28 No. 19 dated 5 October 2006.
The Wavell School
Wavell had a school named after him, the Wavell School in Farnborough, Hampshire, i think someone should write about that.
I have just modified one external link on
Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Currently, the following are in "general sources" but not in body text: Houterman, Koppes; Connell ( 1964); Connell (1969); Close (1997). Just deleting those or moving them to a "Further reading" section does not address the fundamental problem here, which is given in the first sentence of this post. Verifiability is compromised by unlinked references. That is especially true because additional sources will almost certainly be needed and used.
