Talk:Tom Eastick/Archive 1

More information
There's a little bit more detail about his earlier military career here but I haven't added it as I'm not sure how reliable the source is. And what does ED stand for? Jasper33 09:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd never seen it before and I didn't know either, but judging by my Google search, some prominent people got one. I found the answer at http://www.awm.gov.au/glossary/ which is very useful for Australian and British military jargon.


 * That site/material looks quite sound so I will include it, thanks. Grant | Talk 12:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

A small amount of additional info (from footnote 3 on p561 of Volume VII – The Final Campaigns (1st edition, 1963) Gavin Long (Chapter 23): "Brig T. C. Eastick CMG, DSO, ED, SX3295. Engineer; of Reade Park, SA."  Not sure what the CMG stands for - is that something to do with his knighthood? Jasper33 12:52, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Companion of the Order of St Michael, which I think means he was not a knight(?) Grant | Talk 01:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Ranks and titles
Hi again Jasper33, and well done in finding a source for the knighthood.

User:203.122.249.154 a.k.a. "eastick@adelaide.on.net", if you see this, the Australian Government World War 2 Nominal Roll entry for Thomas Charles Eastick has his substantive rank as Colonel, not Brigadier, when he left the army on 27/2/46. Sir Thomas may have been made an honorary Brigadier at some later point, but it seems clear that he was not a Brigadier when he left the army. Grant | Talk 16:11, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
