need help understanding my father's military file

Hi,
My name is Eitan from Israel.
My father enlisted the army on Dec. 1939 and served till Jan. 1946.
A few weeks ago I got his military file. Unfortunately I can't figure out what is written there (names of units, abbreviations, initials etc.)
Can someone help me learn in which units my father served. I know he started with A.M.P.C 401 Coy and at the end of the war served with the 125 salvage unit.
Any help will be appreciated.

Eitan,

Might help if you can post some images of the records.

AMPC is the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps (apologies if you'd cracked this one already).

Owen Shalom,
Enclose is part of my father's file.
I got the information about the AMPC
Can you figure out the last 2 lines?

thank you so very much.
can you help me with the following data

Eitan

 

SU = Salvage Unit. I would imagine that ERSU and ERITRN SU are abbreviations for Eritrean Salvage Unit.
There are War Diaries for 104 Salvage Unit at the National Archives, Kew. Relevant ones are:
Jun - Dec 42. WO 169/6316
1943. WO 169/13178
Most of the entries deal with promotions etc. In case you don't know:
P/A/LCpl = Paid Acting Lance Corporal
A/U/Cpl = Acting Unpaid Corporal
P/A/Cpl = Paid Acting Corporal
W/S/Cpl = War Substantive Corporal
U/A/Sgt = Unpaid Acting Sergeant
P/A/Sgt = Paid Acting Sergeant

4.7.42 Granted arrears WTPP from 20.6.40 (back pay for WTPP) Authority is..........

Unpaid, Local, Acting, War Substantive is a bit difficult to explain but it is to do with whether promotion is to fill a temporary or permanent vacancy etc.
