Your work must be the most significant historical contribution since Waterloo. I'm sure it will be a great success.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Alas, publishers seem to think otherwise!

Credit where's it's due :). The Orders of Battle for the Allies at least were available to authors soon after the battle with strengths and losses. They didn't seem to be so secretive then. I printed off a complete Order of Battle for the British Armed Forces in Iraq 2003 from an American military think tank website. Although it's 12 years later and irrelevant I don't suppose the MoD would like it.
