 * Symbol question.svg Date and length OK. QPQ OK. One disambig link found: "cabin" (please fix) . External links OK. Re the original hook: the referenced page has links to several pages, so your reference needs to say that the reader must click to read page 56. However page 56 confirms the search for the deserters, but does not confirm the actual number of soldiers doing the searching. Please find a reference for "thousand"? Re Alt 1: this hook checks out OK. --Storye book (talk) 16:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I added the page number for the original hook ref and added another citation for the "thousand" claim (though it's offline). --Jakob (talk) (my editor review) 17:54, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you for the update; offline hook for "thousand" accepted IGF. Good to go, using either hook. --Storye book (talk) 18:06, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
