Thank you Keith, actually I had not been able to locate an image of that, velly interesting!

Thanks both. I have Claude Blair's work and forgot to look back at that.

I'm interested in the actual Cripps-Day words, though it is a secondary source, as I hoped it would provide some more context or even point to the primary source. I realise that it won't be definitive, but would add some more flavour and possibly give more clues to what was meant by some of the terms.

Having read a lot on ECW era arms and equipment, training etc, too much gets omitted that is important, or gets mangled in the re-telling. A friend is doing some good digging on equipment orders in the (UK) National Archives, and that's adding some unusual angles and challenges to perceived wisdom.
