Jervis-Read
[edit]Some sources incorrectly identify Anthony Read (British Army officer) as the original head of this section. I think this dates to Holt's 2004 book (which is the first example I can find). In fact, it was J.V.B Jervis-Read, not J. A. Jervis-Read, who was head of the section. The absolute proof of this is a) Anthony Jervis-Read's career which went nowhere near London in this period and b) J.V.B Jervis-Read's OBE citation which identifies his involvement with Ops (B) during Operation Fortitude. --Errant (chat!) 13:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
