[edit] Uncertain date and place of birth

His place of birth is uncertain. For example Who's Who in New Zealand (8th edition 1964) says Milton while the Navy's official war history (page 244) says Whitby, England.

Likewise his date of birth is uncertain. For example the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography says 7 December 1908 while the Navy's official war history (page 244) says 7 June 1909.

Although this can't be cited as a source, a person I know who knew him well when he was alive says that Phipps himself didn't know where or when he was born or who his father was.--Geronimo20 (talk) 00:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
