I wonder about sourcing for this list. I knew several of those named during my time there, so I can personally vouch for them, but that's not good enough for Wikipedia. How do we find a good source(s). -- Pete ( talk) 07:46, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, pls see "regiment lost its mortar and machine-gun platoons". At no time in the 80s or early 90s did QUR have a MG platoon. I don't know if this is an error in Paul's book or an editor error. If somebody has access to the book, it should be checked pls. QUR did not exercise its freedom of the City of Brisbane in 1986 but rather, was granted the freedom at that time. I have the parade programme and can provide a copy of the decree from that, which granted the freedom. There was a pioneer platoon. I am not certain if it was disbanded in mid 1983 or 1984. The D&E platoon (or rather - a section) was formed from its remnants. I would have to dig up my records that might confirm the date. I appreciate the requirement for reliable sources. However, a support Company two years after 1982 consisting of "mortars, signals, demonstration and employment platoons and intelligence section" might be in doubt. If this is what Paul's book says, then that is what it says. I note that none of the prominent former members currently listed are supported by citations that they were former members. I don't suggest that they should be removed (even if wiki says so) but that there are many others who are at least as prominent who aren't there - I can think of two major generals and a brigadier with a CMC (I think), just of the top of my head.
