Long Tan Cross[edit]

The Long Tan Cross on display at the Australian War Memorial in August 2012

  • ... that a replica of the Long Tan Cross (original pictured) is one of only two memorials to foreign military forces permitted in Vietnam?

  • Date and length fine. Sources reliable. Offline sources AGF. No copy vios. Photo licensed. Hook correctly formatted. Offline citation for hook facts AGF. Just one small issue: In your article, the date for erection of the replica is 1986, but in ref #6 it's 1989. Anne (talk) 21:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes, different sources give different dates; I'd gone with the recently-published official history as it's the most reliable source. However, I've added both options as the two references are reliable. Thanks a lot for your review. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 09:03, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Checked size and date, sources good, date issue cleared up with conflicting sources mentioned and cited. Good to go. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:54, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
