Double entries, e.g. '1 OB, 32B', indicate that at some stage the individual transferred from one unit to another. The first figure is the initial posting, the second (in the case of multiple transfers) the final posting. Due to the complexity of corps structures and the inconsistencies of entries on the original 'Information Sheet' attached to each photograph, a number of units have been embraced under one abbreviation. For example 'Navy' refers to the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Navy and the Merchant Marine. Similarly, 'AMC' includes the Australian Army Medical Corps, Field Ambulance units and the Australian Army Nursing Service. Similar groupings will become apparent to the user of the Index.

Major General James Harold Cannan, CB, CMG, DSO, VD (29 August 1882 – 23 May 1976) was a Queenslander by birth and a long-term member of the United Service Club. He rose to brigadier general in the Great War and served as the Australian Army’s Quartermaster General during the Second World War after which it was said that his contribution to the defence of Australia was immense; his responsibility for supply, transport and works, a giant-sized burden; his acknowledgement—nil.

Identifying military engagements in Egypt and the Levant, 1915- 1918 Roslyn Shepherd King Pike* Independent Scholar Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines the official names listed in the 'Egypt and Palestine' section of the 1922 report by the British Army’s Battles Nomenclature Committee and compares them with descriptions of military engagements in the Official History to establish if they clearly identify the events. The Committee’s application of their own definitions and guidelines during the process of naming these conflicts is evaluated together with examples of more recent usages in selected secondary sources. The articles concludes that the Committee’s failure to accurately identify the events of this campaign have had a negative impacted on subsequent historiography. Introduction While the perennial rose would still smell the same if called a lily, any discussion of military engagements relies on accurate and generally agreed on enduring names, so historians, veterans, and the wider community, can talk with some degree of confidence about particular events, and they can be meaningfully written into history.
