Talk:2/6th Cavalry Commando Regiment (Australia)

Citations needed
There are still a few citations needed for this page - I've added what I can, but if anyone else can help that would be great. I think we could probably get it up to a B class if the majority of the missing citations could be added. It might also need a copy edit - I've done some, but I'm probably too close to the work now, so it will require someone else's eyes to spot any mistakes in grammar, spelling, etc. Cheers.AustralianRupert (talk) 01:24, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree. Assessed as Start pending these citations. Lawrence, M.J. (talk) 01:34, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added all that I can now - there's one pesky "citation missing" remaining. I can't seem to find anywhere that confirms that the regiment disbanded in September 1945. This date was already in the article before I started working on it, so I don't know who added it or where they got that information from. The AWM Unit Information doesn't mention this date, nor does Johnston's work on the 6th Division. On p. 237 he talks about the 6th Division disbanding in January 1946, but does not specifically talk about 2/6th Cav Cdo Regt. Anyway, if anyone can help with the citation for this, or confirm or deny that the regiment disbanded in September 1945, that would be great. Cheers.

 * Okay, I've found it now. However, it is a website not a book. It seems credible, though. It is the Royal Australian Armoured Corps website. I think in this case it would be acceptable as a citation, so I have included due to the lack of any other source. Hope this is okay. Cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 02:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Commanding Officers
I have added the Johnston reference for the Regiment's commanding officers as he provides a table on page 6 with these names. The AWM Unit Information does not list Hennessey, however, Johnston does and it seems a credible source to me (printed by Cambridge University Press), so I think it confirms it. I'd like to try to find out Hennessey's full name though so that it can be made consistent with how we've dealt with the others (including their full names, that is). I've looked through the AWM files and can't find a record of him. Would be an interesting side point, I guess. AustralianRupert (talk) 22:08, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
