there seems to be somethign wrong with this article it has his place of birth as in newfoundland, yet vetern affairs has it as glace bay http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/sub.cfm?source=collections/virtualmem/Detail&casualty=260164

also most of the citations used for this article are dead links.

That's because VAC (Veterans Affairs Canada) is going by Croak's Attestation Paper [1], on which he stated POB as "Glace Bay, CB" or Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Wikig39 (talk) 17:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Croak or Croke???

Consistancy, people! It's fine and dandy to start the article with "Croak" and keep it all the way until an explanation appears about the spelling:

The Newfoundland spelling of the name is "Croke," and that is also how it appears on Pvt. Croak's birth certificate. However, Pvt. Croak enlisted with this spelling, which remains on many of his official documents.

But then to switch back to "Croke" at the end...tsk tsk:

[edit] The medal

John Bernard Croke's medals are held by The Army Museum. The Army Museum is located on the second floor of the Cavalier Block in the Halifax Citadel Defence Complex, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Ergo, to be switched. Wikig39 (talk) 17:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
