Between the devil and the deep blue sea - University of Canterbury

- Note on Citations -
Where possible, a person's position, rank and name are cited on first mention in
the footnotes, all subsequent mentions cite only his or her position. At times, finding a
person's name has proven difficult, in no small part due to the illegibility of many
signatures on documents. All military ranks are given in English, except where there was no
equivalent rank available. There are some minor discrepancies between the Dutch and
British ranking system (see Appendix 1). Place names have been kept as they were in 1914,
except in cases of common English usage (for example, Rhine or The Hague). All
translations are my own. I have included the original quotations (in Dutch, French or
Gennan) in the footnotes. For ease of reference, all titles and references in Dutch have been
translated into English on first mention in the footnotes and in the bibliography.
