Cool. I figured you had something, but I wanted to make sure nothing got overlooked. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:28, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's a really neat article on the Women's Land Army that we currently have redlinked. This would be a good article too. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 20:23, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What's the source for her husband's name? It's not in the anchorage article. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:45, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
