  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. I think ALT1 reads more smoothly; hook ref verified and cited inline. Article contains one fair use image and the rest freely licensed. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go for Remembrance Day, November 11. Yoninah (talk) 19:42, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
