Question Re: Unit serials

Hi Clive;

Strange?, I have Part "A" General Orders 1945, Nos. 316-322, 17th September, 1945 - and starting on page 4 (thru 9) - GO 319/45 dated 17 Sep 45, effective dates: 16 Jun; 4 Jun; 16 May; 19 Feb; 23 Apr; 24 May; 15 Apr; and 27 May 1945, in front of me and there are no unit serial numbers opposite the units listed, all of which are more or less, C.A.O.F.

Even GO 241/45 (Part "B" GO's 1945) dealing with the 6th Canadian Infantry Division, C.A.P.F. has no unit serial numbers opposite the units listed.

Don't ya just love Canadian Military History, they just love to bury details........


Cheers
