Quartier général militaire canadien; QGMC : Bien que ces désignations soient utilisées dans certaines sources, elles ne revêtent aucun caractère officiel puisque l’organisation en question n’était pas bilingue à l’époque de son existence. 4, record 1, French, - Canadian%20Military%20Headquarters

Quartier général de l’Armée canadienne; QGAC : Ces désignations, parfois utilisées comme équivalent de «Canadian Military Headquarters», portent à confusion. En effet, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Quartier général de l’Armée (GAC) semble avoir succédé au Quartier général militaire canadien. De plus, il existe actuellement un Quartier général de l’Armée canadienne qui n’est pas la même organisation que celle de l’époque de la Guerre. 4, record 1, French, - Canadian%20Military%20Headquarters
