Poznámka v tabulce Osobnost - vojenská služba.

V kolonce Průběh vojenské služby: jsem vycházel z medailonku v 1. díle Rajlichova Albionu (Rajlich, Jiří: Na nebi hrdého Albionu, 1. část, Ares, Praha 1999, ISBN 80-86158-17-9). Z něj jsem ponechal v původní podobě průběh služby A. Hesse u letectva v meziválečném období, ačkoli se liší od údajů vložených Jirkou Fidlerem. Totéž se týká působení v čs. pěchotě po 1. sv. válce, kdy označení útvarů zřejmě vychází až z období po reorganizaci v roce 1920.
