    My man's record has gaps where dates are concerned so I am unsure about the units he was in after Dunkirk.

    He is posted after Dunkirk in Sep 40 from the Stevedore Centre (Pt 2 O by the centre) to No 6 Bomb Disposal Section. In May 41 he is disciplined for an offence, Pt 2 O by 12 Bomb Disposal Company and is discharged medically unfit later in 1941 also Pt 2 O from 12 BD Company. There are war diaries for 12 BD Coy Aug 40 to Dec 41 and for 6 BD Sec for Sep 40 only.

    Before getting both, does anyone know whether 6 Sec (as it would seem in the normal organisational sense) was a sub unit of 12 BD Coy or were the sections stand alones?

    It is only the 40/41 period I am interested in.
