I think this article is close to B class standard. It just needs a couple more citations and a little more information and I think that it will be there. I've added what citations I could, but there are still a couple more needed, I feel. In regards to information, I believe that in the later life section, there should be a sentence about Major Howard's death. As it is it is not really mentioned, just the date in the introduction. A single sentence would probably suffice and would serve to round out the article, in my opinion. When this has been done, please request a reassessment at [[WP:MHA]]. Cheers.
