LG/58 | AHG/98 Although two LP occupational phases are outlined in UE7, it is not possible to associate unpublished references in LG/58, LG/58.7, LG/58.8, and LG/59 with either phase, although the material suggests that they are linked to the LP; the location of LG/58 is unknown because there are conflicting accounts in UE7 which the unpublished notes do not resolve.
