I have the service records of Margaret Elizabeth DENYS-BURTON, born in Dublin, Ireland, 16th March 1921. In 1941 Margaret enlisted in the British Army, in Ballymena, Northern Ireland . She joined the ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service). Does anyone have any information or insights on the following: "Attended 26th Course at ATS NCOs School (August - October 1943)" - I know that NCO is Non-Commissioned Officer - Margaret was given a B- - Any idea of the location of this course? "mustered into the trade of SBO Group 'D' Class III" - what does SBO stand for and what are the duties/skill set? I think it's to do with Signals, Switch Board Operator, perhaps? "Attended No. 42 WOSB (OCTU) ATS" Edinburgh area? (March 1945) - I know that WOSB is War Office Selection Board & OCTU is Officer Cadet Training Unit. - Any idea of the location of this course? - Who would keep records of this course? Thanks db
Hi db I notice there are other threads on here for the same subject, have you seen? Girls in Khaki Have you contacted ATS Remembered - Home TD
Thank you for the links. I have in the past corresponded with ATS Remembered and will review their website again. The book looks interesting. db
