An excellent point. We were certainly taught to put in Note to Editors although not to pick up things like corpse.
Now not meja, but I read a book the other day that was so bad Amazon refunded my money. This American author was so lamentably bad that it was evident that he had not heard of internet research. Where it really grated was his way of writing time:
For oh-three hundred he wrote three hundred hours. Or once three hundred hours fifteen. Bit like the teeth grinding when the meja talk of forty five commando or six hundred and seventeen a squadron.
Maybe the MOD Media Comms should issue a decode:
Ten Sqn, One-oh-One Sqn, 4-5 Commando etc etc and of course a spell list:
IX Sqn, XIII Sqn etc.
