Because sometimes you absolutely, positively just need to know that the British issued 136,396,000 pairs of socks.

Or that 739,409 mules were fighting the good fight on 30 November, 1918.

My only suggestion would be to print it off at work. Whilst your boss is out. If you don't print it off you will become extremely adept at reading upside-down text. I can only assume these parts were included for ANZAC perusal.

I couldn't download the RS version, so I googled up this one;

No upside-down pages, just some tables that need rotating in a PDF reader. Or get a crick in your neck.

Aye les, that would be the one. I always fail at rapidshare links. Excuse me, I'm about to blatantly steal it and put it in the first post for anyone coming in.
