This site is dedicated to the study of Commonwealth Orders of Battle during the period of the Second World War. I am interested in contacting other researchers who are willing to exchange information on the British Commonwealth and Empire during this period. Contact me at dryan67@adelphia.net. Related order of battle links are shown below. The site is organized around each of the major Commonwealth countries.
