Hello All,

GOCRA Australian Corps - Walter Adams COXEN - 18/10/1917 - 16/8/1918

GOCRA Australian Corps - ??? ??? ??? - 16/8/1918 - 14/11/1918 :ph34r:

GOCRA Australian Corps - Harold GRIMWADE - 14/11/1918

Who is, or are, the chap(s) in the middle?

I can answer myself now, I think.

Wiki states that Coxen became Director of Ordnance in the AIF's Department of Repatriation in London on 16 August 1918.

'Digger History' states the same date for his move to London

The Australian Dictionary of Biography states that this move didn't happen until 16 NOVEMBER 1918

Montgomery-M's ORBAT for 4th November 1918 has Coxen still in situ as GOCRA, Australian Corps.

Q.E.D.

I think the first two are errors; one taken from the other and will proceed accordingly unless anyone has a different view or evidence?

I have changed the Wiki entry to NOVEMBER 1918 from AUGUST 1918.

Kind Regards,

SMJ
