 * This article was moved from userspace on 20 July and so does qualify on newness. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:50, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry—must have missed that. May I suggest the more concise hook as follows? Catrìona (talk) 19:08, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT1 ... that Ian Aird performed chest surgery on a wounded German officer after the British surgeon had been captured by a German Panzer column during the North African Campaign?
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Although nominated as an expansion, this article seems to have been moved out of a sandbox on 20 July. It is new enough and also plenty long enough. The hook facts are cited in a paragraph about the event, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. The original hook was too long but I am approving ALT1.
