There is really nothing complicated about the use of this work, there are however a few items within that may perhaps warrant a wee bit of elaboration.
All dates contained herein have been expressed in a military format, i.e. day/month/year. As these relate to unit postings and command transitions, they indicate 'timein' only, the duration of an assignment can be easily determined by addressing the next succeeding applicable date. When no additional data is available this simply indicates that the tenure of a given assignment
carried through to the official end of hostilities in the European Theatre of Operations, this being V-E Day, 8-May-45.
