Melbourne 2002 Be aware that an alternative was also listed for DLS as "Director of Legal Services". Since ASC had no input to Legal Services I discounted that possibility. And in answer to the un-asked question that quivers on a thousand lips, no, I have no idea of what a 'Defence Light Section" is. It is also possible that DLS had another meaning in WW1, not uncovered by LtCol Smith.
