I have my Dad's service records. In amongst some of the acronyms is this RUGFZ. It appears in the sentence: "Posted to Draft India? RUGFZ and temp attached to 3 cpy I.C.Depot." I can decipher most of that, the puzzle is India and RUGFZ. Dad was in the FSS, Field Security Service, serving in Africa Italy and Europe as BAOR attached. Anyone?

A document relating to drafts RNLJL & RNLSB - there is more but it is more administrative plus a list of men of the draft - I'm considering posting the full thing with a transcript of the names (and details of any who became casualties) but it could take a fair effort
And a couple of bits about a lad going on RNTTP - he was killed at Cassino - not sure if these help at all
