New enough, long enough, and well sourced. Interesting hook, adequately sourced. Accepting offline source AGF. This appears to be nominator's first DYK, perhaps surprisingly as they are a long-term editor, so no QPQ is needed. However, the article contains significant amounts of text copied from a copyrighted document, [1]. Examples: "wanted to serve, but military branches for Canadian women did not yet exist", "In October, she was assigned to [go to] the Dutch East Indies [now] Indonesia to evacuate the civilian internment camp at Bangkinang", "all of whom had to be moved through mountainous jungle to the coastal city of Padang for safety and medical care. [However], there were no Allied personnel available in the region at the time." This is unacceptable and I have tagged the article as a copyvio. It cannot be listed in DYK in this form. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:22, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
