 * Symbol confirmed.svg This looks fine to me. The sources are good, the article is well supplied with citations and it's well-written. It's long enough and new enough at the time of nomination. No copyright problems detected. I think the first hook is preferable, as ALT1 really isn't exceptional (a great many British males of his age would have served during the war).
