Footnotes:
[1] “A Force” is expanded to “Aust Force” on Guiting RoH, so A Force probably means Australian forces, therefore C Force is probably Canadian Forces.
[2] The war memorial shows a F. East as having died in the war, as not listed among the dead on the RoH it is probable that this Fredrick East died of his injuries between the time of the RoH being written and the war memorial being built.
