Comment: Expansion from a 2-sentence stub that was tagged for notability.

5x expanded by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 13:49, 18 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Expansion is enough, hook is interesting. Not convinced of the value of these interwiki links as they lead to single line articles themselves at best, and non-existent articles in some cases (except for 1er régiment de chasseurs which has some content). Etalle and XXI Corps are disambiguation links that should be fixed. CMD (talk) 03:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review CMD, I agree the Slovenian articles aren't much use but better than nothing I figured. I've fixed the link to the French 8th Chasseurs a Cheval Regiment and the two disambiguations - Dumelow (talk) 09:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

, can't access the hook source, but other sources seem in line. CMD (talk) 10:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
