... that Cuthbert Headlam, co-founder and editor of The Army Quarterly and Defence Journal, felt that the fighting of the First World War was futile?

Overall: A worthwhile and well structured article that I'm surprised had not been created before. The article is new enough, long enough and well sourced. Turning to the hooks, the first is fine and fully sourced in the text; ALT2 is also good and cited in the text and AGF; however ALT1, whilst good, is not actually mentioned in the text and I'm sure it has to be to qualify. It's a bit deductive and I'm also not sure that 1929 was still the age of trench warfare. As I've mentioned before, I'm pretty sure we're meant to include the sourcing within the nom itself, but am happy to be corrected on that. So subject to that being clarified, I'm happy to support the main hook and ALT2. Bermicourt (talk) 17:45, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, it was founded in 1920 but I think we can drop Alt1 anyway. Thanks for confirming that the other two are cited in the text. I have removed The to make Alt2 flow better. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:08, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I think this is now GTG. Bermicourt (talk) 17:52, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
