New enough, long enough, well-written and within policy. The image is tagged as public domain (unfortunately it's slightly ruined by a watermark in the upper left corner) and QPQ has been done. The hook is good and supported by the sources; the claims in it are also supported by a direct inline citation. That the force amounted to 3,500 men has been established earlier in the article, but that claim lacks a citation immediately following the sentence. This being DYK, I'm afraid that's a necessity... Once that is done, it should be good to go. Very nice article, happy to promote this kind of quality!

Thanks
Yakikaki, I vehemently disagree with that rule but have now duplicated the reference within as required by it. Cheers -

Thank you. I am completely on your side, but I know how it will end up if I don't insist.
