Donald Forrester Brown

Nominator(s): Zawed (talk) 01:28, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Donald Brown, a New Zealand soldier who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during the Battle of the Somme in the First World War. He was only the second New Zealand recipient of the war. Although not a particularly lengthy article, it comprehensively covers its subject and has been through GAN and a Milhist A-Class review. Thanks in advance to all those who participate in the review. Zawed (talk) 01:28, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

Suggest adding alt text

File:DF_Brown,_VC.jpg: not clear to me whether the given tag is meant to apply to the scan or the image itself, but given this is a pre-1924 publication suggest adding a US PD tag anyways

File:Warlencourt_British_Cemetery_-4.JPG: technically since France does not have freedom of panorama this should include an explicit tag for the original work. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note

Sorry but this FAC has stalled so I'm going to archive it. Given the relative lack of commentary, happy to waive the usual two-week waiting period for re-nomination -- if you do that pls note up front that image and source reviews were carried out with this nom.
