Notes:
1. The strength of a Chinese regiment was equivalent to the strength of a British battalion, that of a division to a British brigade and that of an army to a British division.
2. The Chinese formations had in general no supporting or ancillary units and very little transport.
3. The infantry were not all equipped with rifles.
