Thanks for the review, buidhe. It could use File:Charles Green 1945 (AWM 097970).jpg if you think that is better, it is also free. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:32, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Well, in my experience promoters rarely use B&W images. However, I confirm that the other image meets technical requirements. (t · c) buidhe 08:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
