Marching fire

(

)

... that marching fire involves attacking an enemy position with suppressive fire while advancing on foot?

Length of article and date of creation are fine. The image is not included in the article which, I think, makes it ineligible for use in DYK. I think the hook, which is unreferenced, is a bit vague, referring to the whole article rather than a specific fact. Maybe:
ALT1 ... that General George S. Patton praised the tactic of marching fire during World War II?

Ah! I see that you are right about the image I offered, that it must be in the article. Here's one of Patton which would go well with your ALT hook which is fine by me. Below is a version of your ALT adjusted for the presence of an image. Binksternet (talk) 17:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that General George S. Patton (pictured) praised the tactic of marching fire during World War II?

That's fine. Ready to go now with the latest hook and image which I have renamed ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:42, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
