The organisation of the War Diary references, as kicked into cyberspace by the
LAC, are a mess. The unit references have been uploaded in a chaotic manner and
a logical date sequences for particular units is non-existent. When there are
159 references for a particular unit, say the Canadian Corps, then it is a time
consuming job to find the one you need. For this reason I have looked at all the
references, got rid of the 'ballast' and copied & pasted them in a normal
date sequence.
I have used the LAC Keyword list to arrange the units and hyperlinks, but I'm
nor really happy with their list. Some of the reasons for this should be clear
when you read the following, another reason is because it is not logical and
there are units missing. See this thread.

The following references for General Staff are not shown amongst the sub-groups
listed above. Charming, start looking amongst 151 references...The references
after which I have added 'No Entries!', are a mess. The reference
1915/09-1916/10/31 has all the separate references from 1915/09/01-1915/11/30 to
1916/10/01 hidden within its date sequence...So, some of the references have
been duplicated. November 1916 are missing completely, although I do have the
entries for this month. Must be another 'catch' by mistake.
