Did you know... that Australian and Greek troops under Lieutenant Colonel Ian Ross Campbell held off a force of over 1,000 German paratroops on
Crete for ten days?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or

... that Australian and Greek troops under Lieutenant Colonel Ian Ross Campbell held off a force of over 1,000 German paratroops on Crete for ten days? Source: "On 20 May a force of 1300-1500 paratroops was dropped to both flanks of and on top of the Australians. The Germans had powerful air support, and the Australians were isolated from the start from the rest of the garrison of Crete. Lt-Col CAMPBELL remained in command during ten days continuous and at times bitter hand to hand fighting." (

Overall: Hawkeye7 and
Newm30, I’ve completed my review of this article and the hook and find that they meet or exceed DYK criteria. I confirmed that the article was created by
Newm30 on 19 December 2020, and that it is readable prose size at 4044 characters (705 words). The image of the subject in the article is Fair Use with the necessary justification provided. --

According to a Times obituary, their marriage was dissolved after two years.[1]
Not mentioned in the article, and difficult to reconcile with the fact that they share a gravesite. The fact that Campbell did not remarry until five years after her death may also be significant.
I am particularly interested in Patience A. Russell's earlier history.
