B class review comments

I started a B class review before noticing it was already assessed as B class by user:Rfl0216. I agree that it's B class. Here are some possible corrections. Djmaschek (talk) 02:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Between the wars, paragraph 2: two of which languages > two of which were languages. (missing word)
Between the wars, paragraph 2: Russian family who spoke on Russian > Russian family who spoke only Russian. (on > only?)
Northwest Europe, photo caption: tghird > third. (typo)
Post-war: assignment was write up > assignment was to write up. (suggested)
Post-war: He then assumed command > Belchem then assumed command. (suggested)
Post-war: Belchem married Constance King in 147 > 1947? (typo)
Later life: later in life he published > Later in life he published. (typo)

Y All corrected. Thanks for that! Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:07, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ present. AGF on the hook fact; secondary link checks out. No textual issues. A promoter may want to consider expanding Distinguished Service Order from an abbreviation — I know I had to add a link in. Seems like quite the guy (and quite the feat!).
