It must have been pretty difficult for the HQ "boffins" that had to ascertain the facts of these sorties for the purpose of awards and decorations etc, especially considering how difficult it is even now.
Sure, time has passed and memories faded, and another war intervened and possibly destroyed records of the previous conflict. You would think that after everyone had kissed and made up, then sat down to write what had happened, with both sides having access to their records, that you might be reasonably expected to get a close approximation of what really did happen.
Fog of war IS pretty much a pea-souper. The day after, or one hundred years later. Thanks for all the extra information.
