The phrase "hero"should remain in the article in reference to Keyes and his father. In the case of the father, the fact that he was a war "hero" exercised a great influence on Keyes life. And "Keyes" was famous for being a hero. It was an age that lionized physical bravery to an extent that is unknown today. To surpress this is to present a false view of Keyes.

Article definatly needs a re-write from NPOV to just general editing to make it read better. -- To0n 23:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC) I hope it is rewritten by someone who can spell!

--- Bah! Keyes was never a great speller, why should we be. In any event, I should have the Aspinall-Oglander biography of Keyes (which is the only one that I know of) coming in the mail within days, I'll see what I can do to tidy this up.--Waterj2 06:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rating of article

This article is very complete and detailed, but needs major citing of sources to make it better. A longer introduction serving as a full summary would be good. There are certain parts of the article which could be revised to omit a certain chattiness to the style. There are variations of tense which are not necessary and out of place. Otherwise, it's a good solid base for an article. -Harlsbottom 00:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ref. section Around the World: 'Then it was off to South America in October 1892, for service on HMS Beagle.'

I only happened to be reading this page and noticed the hyperlink to 'the' HMS Beagle who's own history subsequently mentions it being sold for scrap in 1870.
