Moved to mainspace by Ykraps (talk). Self-nominated at 20:07, 18 November 2019 (UTC).
Hi Ykraps, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 18 November; article is of good length; article is well written; article is cited inline throughout to excellent sources, largely offline; AGF no overly close paraphrasing from the offline sources, only online sources are the London Gazette, a spot check found no issues here; hooks are interesting and mentioned in article, AGF on offline sourcing; QPQ has been done. Looks good to me. I personally prefer ALT1 but any hook can be used - Dumelow (talk) 08:01, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
