What is still not known
- Commanding officer: this field could not be read in our copy (the top of the page is cut off).
- Code name: not confirmed from our source.
- War record: where this unit went and what it did has not been traced yet.
This card is made only of facts copied from one book. Only what can be confirmed against a primary source will one day become 🟢. An empty field means the book does not say. Nothing has been filled in by guesswork.
