For the benefit of the Yanks, “4th Dorset Regt” does not signify the 4th of many Dorset Regiments, but the 4th Battalion of the one Dorset Regiment. All of the units above were Battalions assigned to BETFOR’s 24th Infantry Brigade, its predecessors 24th Guards Brigade, or other elements of XIII Corps.
