Vera Deakin White
[edit]- ... that Vera Deakin's missing persons bureau responded to 400,000 enquiries from the families of Australian soldiers during World War I? Source: "Vera and her friend Winifred Johnson established the Australian Wounded and Missing Enquiry Bureau [...] For three years they fielded heart-rending queries from anxious families across Australia about their soldier relatives. [...] Some 400,000 responses were sent to those who placed enquiries with the bureau." [1]

Date, length and hook all OK. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:40, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but "Vera Deakin's bureau" seems very vague. Is it possible to explain what it's about, like "Vera Deakin's missing persons bureau"? Yoninah (talk) 21:46, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
