[edit] Contradiction with East African Campaign (World War II)

There is a slight contradiction between East African Campaign (World War II) and Alfred Reade Godwin-Austen. The first one states : In mid-August, the British and Commonwealth forces in British Somoliland received minor reinforcements and a new commander, Major-General Alfred Godwin-Austen while the second one During the East African Campaign, Godwin-Austen commanded the British forces in British Somaliland when the Italians invaded the colony from mid-August 1940.. So, the first one assumes that he went into command after the invasion while the second one, that he was in command at the beginning of the invasion. Poppypetty 22:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
