[edit] Importance of dates

This list has potential to be very useful, however, it seems advisable to add some additional information as the data is compiled. Most importantly, the units in various locales, the commanders, and even HQ locations changed during the war. For this reason, I think known dates should be added.Dewobroto 16:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Political Boundaries of former colonies

The "Dutch East Indies" actually includes the occupied neutral colony of Portuguese Timor from February 20 1942-late August 1945. Some indication of that would be more accurate. "Dutch [Netherlands] East Indies and Portuguese Timor" might be one way, but there are of course other tricky points where command structures cover more than one former colonial territory, like that of the 25th Army during the 1st year which covered part of the British and Dutch colonies of SEA.Dewobroto 16:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
