No mention of Rosenburg's Jewish heritage?
There is a lot to write about Isaac Rosenberg; as previosuly mentioned his Jewish heritage; his time at Slade and of course his career at the front.
A lot of the information at this website: [1] is of great use.

Has anyone else noticed that he was born in both 1890 and 1897?
I think this has since been fixed in the wording, but 1890 is the correct date according to the LoC Authorities files TheStripèdOne 02:02, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Probably the most important thing to mention is his place among the war poets - specifically, his poetry is a harbringer for modernism and has more in common with the 1920s poetry of Eliott and Pound than any of the other war poetry.
On Friday March 28, 2008, the BBC Radio 4 arts programme Front Row had a feature on Isaac Rosenberg, on which a critic said that his poetry should be rated as being as good as that of Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon or Rupert Brooke. Yet, in Britain today, it seems conservative to suggest that he is not as well known as these other poets. Perhaps a section could include discussion of why this might be so (for example, his working class background). Although it might violate Wikipedia's NPOV policy for any Wikipedian to claim that his poetry was as good as that of, say, Wilfred Owen, it would surely not violate NPOV to have a section discussing why he is less famous than these other names.

Sorry, I now remember the edition of "Front Row" was on Thursday March 27 2008.The details of this edition, including reference to Jean Moorcroft Wilson and how she has a book coming out on Rosenberg in April 2008, are available on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/frontrow/past_programmes.shtml —Preceding unsigned comment added by ACEOREVIVED ( talk • contribs) 00:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

'After turning down an offer to apply for a commission to become a lance corporal.....'
Lance Corporals in the army are the lowest rank of non-commissioned officer (NCO). Either the passage should read the commission was to become a second lieutenant (the lowest commissioned rank), or that the application was for promotion to lance corporal. Which is correct?
