  • ... that horse-mounted elements of the French 1st Cavalry Brigade helped hold up the advance of tanks from the 1st Panzer Division for a day in May 1940? "elements of the French 1st Cavalry brigade, including horsed cavalry, and the 5th Light Cavalry Division held up the panzers at Vendresse for whole day, withdrawing at 1700 hours" from: Bond, Brian; Taylor, Michael D.

  • Expansion is enough, hook is interesting. Not convinced of the value of these interwiki links as they lead to single line articles themselves at best, and non-existent articles in some cases (except for 1er régiment de chasseurs which has some content). Etalle and XXI Corps are disambiguation links that should be fixed. CMD (talk) 03:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review CMD, I agree the Slovenian articles aren't much use but better than nothing I figured. I've fixed the link to the French 8th Chasseurs a Cheval Regiment and the two disambiguations - Dumelow (talk) 09:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
, can't access the hook source, but other sources seem in line. CMD (talk) 10:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
