 * ALT1: ... that after the son of novelist Ida Boy-Ed (pictured) was killed early in World War One, she wrote, "A mother is only dust on the road to victory"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the alt - reads better. Victuallers (talk) 09:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Date good, length fine, image is correctly tagged as PD, article well referenced to reliable sources. Couldn't view page of book in question in Google preview but more than happy to AGF.  Nice to see a lot of WWI-related articles coming through this year - Dumelow (talk) 08:12, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I started to promote this and realized the quote in the article is not identical to the way it is in the hook. Needs a fix on that.— Maile (talk) 15:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Make that tweak Victuallers (talk) 15:43, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Made the same tweak also to ALT1, which seems to be the preferred hook in terms of wording; also added a comma before the quote. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Promoting ALT1 now. Hope it's OK that I do the promotion. — Maile  (talk) 00:32, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
