I don't monitor a watchlist for the English-language Wikipedia these days, so I will not see if you respond here, but here are a few pointers:

• What you've written so far is not in the style of a Wikipedia article. I suggest you look through half a dozen articles on similar subjects and get a sense of that style; your article is far more likely to be accepted if it is written in the usual style. In particular:
  • The article should start with a lede: name, birth & death dates, short summary of who he was & why he's notable. Maybe I'm missing something, but at a quick skim, I cannot tell why this person would be important enough to merit an encyclopedia article. Most army sergeants do not meet that threshold, and a quick read does not indicate any extraordinary achievements on his part.
  • Use mediawiki markup. Link relevant articles by using the [[article name]] syntax in your text.
  • The article should be written as a continuous narrative, with virtually all issues of documentary evidence confined to footnotes.
