Unfortunately, the DLI Roll of Honour omits all CANLOAN Officers from the list of those Officers from other Regiments killed, or died of wounds, while serving with the DLI.

			The CWGC documentation includes incorrect dates for Lt Baker's re-burial, as the original form shows 4/6/1944 - three weeks before he was killed in action. The final version shows 4/6/1945 as the re-burial date but that has been altered manually back to 4/6/1944, which cannot be correct. It is assumed 4/6/1945 is the correct date.
