Notes

The dopesheet does not identify the unit, but the official history refers to units of 5th Brigade (2nd Division) encountering the Japanese at Thitseingyi on 22 January. This means the troops seen with mortars are 1st Battalion Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders.

No film in the FUB series for FUB 82, but dopesheet description suggests JFU 36.
