• Hi Schierbecker, review follows: article created 14 July; cited inline throughout; sources used look to be reliable enough; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the sources in a spot check; quotations are appropriate and cited; hook is interesting, the article image could be used if desired. The award itself is cited but not the fact that it is the second highest for valour, can you add that please? Once this is added and a QPQ is provided I cannot see any issues with this running - Dumelow (talk) 12:58, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

I've updated the article with the requested citation. In addition, I've done a DYK review so QPQ is satisfied.--SouthernNights (talk) 20:39, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi SouthernNights, yes looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 12:11, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

@SouthernNights: I have added two citation needed tags to the article. Can you resolve these before this is promoted? Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 22:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Z1720, I added the requested citations. Best, --SouthernNights (talk) 18:53, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

My concerns have been resolved, readding tick per the above review. Z1720 (talk) 19:01, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
