Nice expansion, Ian. I'm not sure if it was you who added: "Williams maintained that RAAF personnel in Europe should serve in Australian units to preserve their national identity, rather than be integrated into RAF squadrons, but he was overruled"(?) I'm just curious -- separate squadrons were a key aspect of Article XV and I was under the impression that the RAAF were quite keen on it, but they just didn't jump up and own about it. Or was Williams proposing that they should jump up and down about it? Cheers, Grant | Talk 04:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
1946 to 1955 is about nine years, not 20 as stated. Grahamec 02:57, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The following comments have been copied from my talk page and are listed here for continuity's sake:
Confirmation of Williams appointment is on the Australian Dictionary of Biography ( http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120566b.htm) which states that "After a brief period as temporary brigade commander, Williams was appointed O.B.E. in January 1919." The rafweb reference and this one are good enough for me. What do you think? Greenshed ( talk) 19:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
