Notes: (1) Adjustments have been made for new Div Sigs WE and for Inf Tps Rec Sec. (2) Unposted RMOs and NZANS have been shown in X(iv) Column. (3) No allowance has been made for increment which must be added to Armoured Corps for different combinations of AFVs.

Author's Explanatory Notes: (1) No wastage is shown for serials 22 to 27, partly because it was in any case small, and partly because replacements largely came from that portion of the wastage of field units that did not return to the field. To be really exact, however, it would have been better to have included some small wastage for these serials. (2) Columns 11 and 12. X(iv) list are reinforcements in depots. (3) Columns 19 and 20 – three months' wastage. These figures are the estimated losses for the three months next ahead, i.e., beginning 28 February 1943. (4) Columns 21, 22, 23, and 24. The totals of these columns show a slight surplus at the end of the three months. Columns 21 and 22, totalling 660, are set against columns 23 and 24, totalling 443. The implication is that we had just enough reinforcements at the moment for the next three months. In this case, as it happened, our actual casualties were less than the estimate, and another reinforcement draft arrived just as the three months was up.
