Hi all, just got Uncle Freds sevice record, he was RAOC and with a LAD attached to 18 F.p. Coy RE I assume this is 18th Field park Company, Royal Engineers. He was with them from March 1941 until Feb. 1942, when he was killed in a traffic accident. Can't find any info on this company on this site or the web, anyone got anything on this unit> Thanks.
Found this ref using Arcre search engine: WO 166/3565 ROYAL ENGINEERS: COMPANIES: 18 Field Park Company. 1940 Aug.-1941 Dec.
I can only find the 1942 diary. Where was the unit in 1941? WO 166/8056 18 Company RE 1942 Jan.-Dec. Edit: My hangover hasn't gone yet then Good job Rosy
Thanks Rosy, Drew can you get me WO 166/3565 next visit to NA? Not sure if 18 Company is the same as Field Park Company? if it is can you get me WO 166/8056 as well? I'm hoping to get more info on how he died, his death cert. says knocked down by vehicle on public highway and service record just says died Cambridge Hospital would like to know if this was a training accident or if he was walking back to barracks or something? cheers both.
I can do them next week for you. I suspect they will be the same (TNA isn't very good at naming files) but I will check and make sure. Cheers Andy
