The result was delete. WP:BIO says that a person is 'likely' to be notable if they have "received a well-known and significant award or honor", but honours such as medals given to thousands of soldiers clearly don't confer such notability. Olaf Davis (talk) 17:55, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non notale military officer. Did not attain high rank; did not win top level wards; did not have have a significant involvement in major military actions.
