This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
Should say "privates" rather than "enlisted men"?[edit]
The article speaks of "six corporals and 18 enlisted men". However, corporals are enlisted men. This article was translated from the French Wikipedia article https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affaire_des_caporaux_de_Souain . And I suspect that "hommes de troupe" should have been translated as "privates" rather than "enlisted men". "Privates" would make more sense given the words "chosen from the two youngest members in every squad." Mksword (talk) 08:25, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
