---Add any additional comments on the "Requested move" below this line --- I moved war office as the official US Army seal says War Office as do all its prior to 1949 and many later official publications. While The British agency was called the War Office, so many US Govt pubs refer to it as the war office. It is also still known as the war office to many older Americans. After I moved it I had server and hardware problems which prevented me from finishing my move. I apoligise for any inconvience. --Tomtom 15:38, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think that we should wait to see how it turns out when Tomtom finishes the article.--Numerousfalx 15:42, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User 71.142.193.104 has twice inserted a section about the seal of the US "War Office". As explained above, this term is overwhelmingly used for the British insitution as the US equivalent was called the Department of War for almost its entire history. For this reason, I moved the information about the seal to United States Department of War --Thom2002 09:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Until 1855 a number of independent offices and individuals were responsible for various aspects of Army administration. The four most important were the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, the Secretary at War and the Secretary of State for War." I'm tired so I wonder if I'm missing something here regarding the number.Meerta (talk) 23:27, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
