    General: Article is new enough and long enough
    Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
    Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
    • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
    • Interesting: Yes
    QPQ: Done.
    Overall: Enjoyable and interesting article - quite Life and Death of Colonel Blimp-esque. I couldn't access the specific page cited to the Muir source for the hook (and the National Army Museum page doesn't actually say he was wounded in the head) but googling actually led me to a number of other sources - seems a well covered story - so happy to AGF. Article is well written albeit a little dependent on WP:PRIMARY and WP:OLDSOURCES but enough sourcing there (where I could spot check) to meet policy. All good on Earwig. Promoted to GA within time limit. I did wonder whether there was a hookier hook around his dad messing up his name by the surname change when he was 16, but actually the name appearing in the hook is the hook - almost irrelevant what comes after it! Good to go. DeCausa (talk) 12:09, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
