The passive voice in the paragraph leaves one asking, "Okay, this is important. Why is the name of the official not there?" Was it Guy Simonds, to whom Stone would have been a known quantity? Ab.chaplin (talk) 21:50, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The selection of Stone was made by Brigadier Rockingham. See https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/themes/defence/caf/militaryhistory/dhh/official/book-1966-korea-army-en.pdf P.36.Tennisedu (talk) 06:08, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
