1. LJ Cooper was a Corporal (not LCpl) while he served with 1NZATTV and also when he was serving with Victor 3.

2. Brighouse's initials are GJ not BW.

3. The officer between Kiwi and Brighouse is not BWF Morrison (but I do not know who he is).

The "unknown" officer between Maj Albie Kiwi and Capt Graham Brighouse is Major Brian Marshall RNZIR.
