CE[edit]

Added a citation from Allen and put – into date ranges, added a collapsible frame for the oob. Revert as desired. Will scan the OH for more Burma details. Keith-264 (talk) 15:33, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Added Anglim 2010 to references.Keith-264 (talk) 16:00, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the additions and ce. Any chance you can elaborate on this bit though: "and the end of the division's availability for operations at Ramree Island"

Also, I note you have added in that division was responsible for repressing the population during the Quit India hoo har. Does your state if this was peaceful, of if there was violent incidents?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 15:56, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yoo hoo, I've got Vol III out for tomorrow so I'll have a look. Did you like the jack in the box OOB ;O) Keith-264 (talk) 21:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure did, I will be stealing that idea for other articles!EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 22:46, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't blame you, that's what I did. Your timely reminder succeeded and I've gleaned a few details from Kirby III. Vol IV next. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 12:40, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Checked the rest of the OH but nothing on the 70th division I'm afraid. Keith-264 (talk) 06:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Keith, I'll dig though the Med and Me series and whatnot and finish off the Crusader section and I think we will have it.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 11:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Always a pleasure babe. ;O) I added a few paragraph breaks but revert to suit.Keith-264 (talk) 11:18, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing, does the OH state anything on 23rd Brigade's Arakan deployment?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 17:29, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look Keith-264 (talk) 17:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you kind sir.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 19:11, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see on Google Books, which has a very poor snippet view of the OH, on page 353 it states "In order to deal with any threat to the division's line of communication from the direction of the Taung Bazar area, he placed 23rd Brigade and i6oth Field Regiment of 7oth British Division, then at Chittagong, under Lomax's command". So, very little context. I have seen mention elsewhere of the bazaar, is this the deployment to Arakan?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 17:29, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CE[edit]

Noticed the peer review so did a typo and spell check. Is it General officer Commanding or General Officer Commanding for the header? RegardsKeith-264 (talk) 05:21, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that too yesterday, I will check Joslen etc tonight to make sure.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:06, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
