  • Nice addition to Wikipedia. The hook is short enough and supported by citations to reliable source material. The article is long enough, new enough, well sourced, and appears to meet other core policies and guidelines. The photograph has appropriate tagging indicating its public domain status. My only suggestion is that, at 100x100px, it's not clear that the photo is a gruesome would shot instead of just being a soldier portrait. It might work better if the parenthetical was placed after the word "wounds." Cbl62 (talk) 15:36, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Please link Army Medical Museum in the hook (and disambig). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:43, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
I edited the hook to incorporate those editorial suggestions. --Orlady (talk) 13:05, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
