Hi, I recommend that when you have a useful clipping like this repatriation notice that names lots of people, you just make one post for it - eg a forum post is fine, and then link it to the people, and on a Person page like this one just have a mention, eg "Repatriated to Australia on 3 April 1946, see <link to notice>."
That fixes a couple of problems that pasting the full notice text onto every person's page causes:
It breaks the "what links here", as it lists every person on the notice, though they are not related to Mr Benwell: https://gwulo.com/node/10915/backlinks
When a new person page is added for a person listed in the notice, and you want to link to them, you'd need to edit every copy of the notice throughout the site - much easier to just have the one copy and edit that.
