  • ... that John Leak (pictured) was court-martialed for desertion even though he had previously been awarded the Victoria Cross for most conspicuous bravery? Source: Blanch & Pegram (2018) For Valour: Australians Awarded the Victoria Cross, Sydney, New South Wales: NewSouth Publishing, pp. 81–84

  • Hook is cited, inline, at the paragraph level to a book published by NewSouth Publishing which, insofar as I can tell, is RS.

I've taken the liberty of removing the ellipses in the hook and adding "(pictured)". Chetsford (talk) 09:30, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
