[edit] Broken Link

Friends Ambulance Unit - The Story of the F.A.U. in the Second World War 1939-1945. Link is broken

Since the work is referenced by ISBN in the references section anyway, I've removed the broken link. --Ahc 03:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions for further work

• Link specific statements to specific pages in sources.
• Clarify apostrophe in title
• The first FAU (1914-1919) is thinly sourced. It doesn't indicate the climate of opinion at the time of the foundation of FAU. It doesn't indicate the divided opinion among war-resisters and conscientious objectors.
• There might be some use for a mention of the reunions, as the second FAU arose out of a reunion.
• It would be good to have a section listing notable people associated with the FAU.
• There should be some mention of the retraining and job placement effort for helping discharged FAU members.
• The text should indicate that the library guides are online.
• There should be a "See also" section, linking to other Wikipedia articles.
• The "Sources" section should be extended, if possible.
• The article would benefit from additional illustrations.

"It would be good to have a section listing notable people associated with the FAU." I scoured "what links here" and ODNB and have produced a long list, in alpha order. Should it be divided into WWI and WWII? Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 22:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
