This article is in good shape. I have a few comments:

link Australian Army Reserve for Citizens Military Force in the lead
- Done. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
suggest linking interwar period for interwar
- Added. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
you could link Greta in the body
- Added. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
you could drop 1942 from " in July 1942"
- Removed. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
perhaps state that the Grants were medium tanks and the Stuarts light tanks?
- Added. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
1st Army Division's headquarters? Armoured?
- Adjusted. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
consistency re 112th Anti-tank Regiment and 112th Anti-Tank Regiment
- Adjusted. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than "The brigade's parent formation" I would just say "III Corps"
- Clarified that it was the divisional headquarters. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Optional: a couple of questions about hyphenation of compound adjectives, part time→part-time and self contained→self-contained
- Adjusted. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
perhaps mention that the Matilda was an infantry tank, and the Centurion was a main battle tank, with links
- Added. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I know it is confusing, but should 6th Royal New South Wales Rifles link to 6th Light Horse Regiment (Australia)? Or is the lineage different?
- Same lineage that I can tell from Festberg. The 6th is already linked, though -- "and a motor regiment, the 6th." -- so I was hoping to avoid a dup link here, but I can add it in if you think it necessary for clarity. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think either a duplink or a sentence fragment explaining this was the same unit (sort of). Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:01, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ok, I added a short bit about the lineage being retained. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:41, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure about the ref for the UCP. The link on the commons file takes you to diggerhistory.info, which isn't a RS, and there is no image of the UCP there?
- G'day, the relevant UCP on the Digger History link is plate 508, which seems correct to me (you have to scroll up once you click through). The plates are just scans of Keith Glyde's Distinguishing Colour Patches of the Australian Military Forces 1915-1951, so I'm confident they are accurate enough. I've updated the Commons description page to make this clearer. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:09, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ah. I reckon that's fine then. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:34, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
there are citation tags for Hopkins 1978, but nothing in the Biblio for Hopkins?
- Added. Not sure what happened here, but I think Nick and I kept adding and removing it by accident. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm pretty sure that I accidentally deleted it while editing on my laptop at the NLA this afternoon. Nick-D (talk) 09:37, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
some of the ISBNs are hyphenated, some not
- Adjusted. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Nice work, I had no idea we had three armoured divisions in WWII... Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:26, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Peacemaker67: G'day, PM, I think I've gotten all these now. Thanks for taking a look at this. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 07:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
