 * Symbol confirmed.svg Typical good work from . Would suggest these alt hooks to use a play on words with the better-known Long Island:
 * "... that U.S. and Australian troops invaded Long Island in 1943?"
 * "... that there was an amphibious invasion of Long Island in 1943? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:41, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure. That's the idea of the hook. Both ALTs are just re-phrasing of the original hook, and are quire acceptable. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:03, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
