General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited:   - not at sentence end, technically
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Another almost perfect nomination. I have added "gallantry" in the article body as well, so it's easier for readers to find the hook info. However, I then noticed that there's no citation directly after that sentence. Could you please duplicate the appropriate one? I know that's a bit nit-picky since refs appear just one sentence later, but it's also not difficult to do I think :) –LordPeterII (talk) 18:05, 11 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi LordPeterII, thanks for your review. I've duplicated the ref- Dumelow (talk) 06:33, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
