Corubal River, Cheche Disaster
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that during the Portuguese Colonial War in February 1969, the Portuguese army lost 47 men while crossing the Corubal River in Guinea-Bissau in the Cheche Disaster?
Created by Dr. Blofeld (talk), Aymatth2 (talk), Rosiestep (talk), and Ipigott (talk). Nominated by Dr. Blofeld (talk) at 13:28, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- Corubal River good on the expansion and the quality; Cheche Disaster good as to creation date and quality; hook is cited in both, but the sources are in Portuguese, thus the AGF (though I note the source used in Corubal River seems to indicate 50 dead, but the source used in the other article seems to go with 47).

- (The Corubal River source says "provocou a morte a quase 50 soldados" - caused the death of almost 50 soldiers. Other sources give the exact number of 47. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:43, 6 February 2013 (UTC))
