Overall: I'm wondering if the fact about his leg being 5cm shorter after being shot is the more interesting? Would be interested to see an alt for this. All good. Preference for ALT1. Seddon ^talk 19:16, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

• I believe that ALT2 ...that Raoul Augereau continued military service despite his leg being shortened by 5 centimeters following a battlefield injury? would be good. Seddon (talk · contribs) Lettler^{hello • contribs} 18:03, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
