 * Symbol voting keep.svg Hi Spinningspark, review follows: article created 3 January; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I am happy to AGF that there is no copyright violation from these sources (which are mainly offline); hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, happy to AGF that it is supported by the sources cited; image appears to be correctly licensed and out of crown copyright (it is credited to the GPO which was owned by the British government at the time); QPQ has been done. Looks to be good to go.  An interesting article, thanks - Dumelow (talk) 10:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
