From its creation in November of 1914, invariably the Chain of Command of the 19th Battalion changed many,
many times. Taken from the War Diaries and other accounts of the history of the 19th, this record is an easy way of seeing
in simple form who was in charge at any given time, whenever possible. This is by no means meant to be an absolutely complete
record, only a best possible approximation as only recorded changes in command are reported here.
