    A Major, RA who I am researching was second-in-command of 52nd Field Regiment, RA to October 1944 and was then posted as an Instructor, Senior Officer's Wing, CMTC at Benevento, Italy. What does the acronym 'CMTC' stand for? Thanks, Dick Flory

    Sheldrake All over the place....

    The acronym carries menace for post war soldiers - CMTC = Corrective Military Training Centre as in CMTC Colchester. However, other references in war diaries suggest that CMTC Benevento was where a range of courses from sniping to senior officers. Maybe "Command military training centre" Your major is posted to instruct "senior officers" - battalion commanders and GSO1 staff officers. Try searching for the term in the National archive index..

    The Colchester establishment, at least in my time, was the MCTC - Military Corrective Training Centre. Maybe CMTC stood for something different - like Central Mediterranean Training Centre, which would account for the course being run there.
