This article, and its history, have been moved from this editors user space. I have renamed the old version of this article as Petroleum Warfare Department (old). The old article was a very short stub and this article has a much richer edit history. Gaius Cornelius ( talk) 12:47, 7 June 2013 (UTC) reply
