Victor Jacques

  • ... that British Brigadier Victor Jaques was almost killed by friendly fire from an American aircraft in Bangkok in 1945? "at least one round from a P-38 hit less than 10ft from Brigadier Hector a "British liaison officer"... Brigadier Hector apparently was a code name for Brigadier Victor Jacques" from page 19 of: Bergin, Bob (December 2011). "OSS and Free Thai Operations in World War II". Studies in Intelligence. 55 (4).

Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 17:49, 11 August 2021 (UTC).

  • New article that was moved to mainspace on 11 August 2021‎ is 14,548 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected and duplication detector of main sources[1][2] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 117 characters long (ALT1 is 167; ALT2 is 191); all three are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs that verifying main hook, ALT1, and ALT2 are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:43, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
