- Comment: The restrictions ofc only apply during their "working hours", and not when the soldiers are back home. I mean, looting was probably still shunned, but not sexual activity. Don't know if that needs more explanation in the hook, or if it's obvious enough and only "hooky". Also not sure if more or less wikilinks would be better.

Hi LordPeterII, interesting article. Review follows: article created 4 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I can't access most of the sources so will AGF on paraphrasing from them (Earwig finds nothing of concern online); hooks are interesting (I don't think further clarification is needed) and mentioned in the article; hook fact is cited, AGF that the source backs up the claim; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 12:39, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
