Jervis-Read[edit]

Some sources incorrectly identify Anthony Read (British Army officer) as the original head of this section. I think this dates to Holt's 2004 book (which is the first example I can find). In fact, it was J.V.B Jervis-Read, not J. A. Jervis-Read, who was head of the section. The absolute proof of this is a) Anthony Jervis-Read's career which went nowhere near London in this period and b) J.V.B Jervis-Read's OBE citation which identifies his involvement with Ops (B) during Operation Fortitude. --Errant (chat!) 12:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    In July, Wild won a power struggle Of which year?

    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
    Jervis-Read had joined the Royal Engineers from university, as a 2nd Lieutenant Link "2nd Lieutenant" and remove the capital; this is only required when it is being used as a title

    His later career was similar to that of Barnes Actually, his career was similar before. Both were cavalry officers on the staff at West Point. Barnes transferred to the USAF in 1947, while Barnes remained in the Army, and died in Vietnam.
