Overly technical?

"On 7 July the corps' strength returns showed no armored vehicles." I'm not sure what this means at all. What are "strength returns"? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:29, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: A document explaining the strength of the corps, i.e. how much equipment it had. Kges1901 (talk) 21:39, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could we expand on that in the article? I don't believe that "corps' strength returns" (unless linked) is sufficiently understandable to our general readers.... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:48, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Clarified the sentence. Kges1901 (talk) 23:26, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
