The article length and age are fines, sources are reliable. No copyvio I could see, and the hook's interesting. However, it isn't cited inline (the ref is currently at the end of the next sentence) and QPQ needs to be done. AryKun (talk) 05:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@AryKun:, thanks. QPQ is done. Citing at the end of the second sentence is alright since they both are to be read together and are attributed to the same source. Please can you also review the picture. Ktin (talk) 21:10, 6 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Okay QPQ's done and I'm fine with where the ref's currently placed. The image is free use, appears in the article, and is relevant to the hook, but is very low-quality, so I'd prefer the hook going without the image. AryKun (talk) 10:15, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ktin, I think we need to add some info about his Legion and Merit awards to justify the categories? I couldn't find in the French refs I could access though I saw on the 'Bear of the Pyrenees' Reuters ref that he was also made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Thanks for any help.
