Help with abbreviations and meanings

Is anyone able to transcribe a section of an Army service record for me?

I am having trouble with identifying the parts in red. The last part of it looks like a date 28th May 42?



Thanks Mike

 

Its a code as to where the authority for his transfer originated.
This would have no bearing on the person named in the Service Record.
For administrative purposes only.
A Rule book reference number or Govt Department.

Just in case you see a similar format in your records, the “28542” is most likely the date: 28th May 1942

 

I guessed it was, Thanks for your advice.

 

Cheers, I sort of guessed that was what it was generally but I thought the CRWE didn't look right.but I couldn't find it in the list of abbreviations

 

Hi
Being pedantic, i think it reads ..."& posted 30th Battalion. Authority CRWC No S/7864" ...

regards

Robert

 

Yes thanks Robert, well spotted.

 

Any ideas for the RASC posting below? 8 ??????? Battalion



Cheers Mike

 

8 Training Battalion RASC.

 

Thanks.

 

Ok guys, Any help with the line below?



Looks like PVIII 22/44 WCCCS Attend to W.C.Reg ?????? School ?? R ? A Can't make out location 14-4-42

 

Its illegible with no context to judge it by.
Please post the whole document in a size and condition that can be read.

Sorry it was a copy of a copy! Here is abetter (hopefully) scan of the service record Form B103-II - It is the last 3 lines I am interested in

I had looked at the abbreviations listing but could not fond them.

 

WCCCS = Western Command Company Commanders School at Nantwich.
RA = Ration Allowance.
CTBA = Ceased to be attached.

p.s. That's a clearer copy!

 

Thanks Richard, I thought it might be Nantwich, it is located quite close to us. My guess is he was taught to drive there, a few months after this his rank changed to Dvr (driver)
Can you make out what the second line up says dated 9/5/42? Looks like "Stu or Ptu Leave"
and the bottom line "for R e A with effect from"

Cheers Mike

 

I think it says gtd (granted) leave

 

I would go with that jonboy, it looks to be followed up with "Lower Rate Ration Allowance (R.A.)" Do you agree?

 

Yes I agree .

Thanks for your reply Lesley, I have only just read the footer details on your page.
I am tracing my fathers service and I have not yet got as far as active service, but after all this training he embarks for Scicily and Italy in July 1943, I think at that time he was with the RASC 78th company. Is this a bit co-incidental?

Cheers Mike

 

Please elucidate regarding this statement:
RASC 78th company. Is this a bit co-incidental?
Is there another thread somewhere?


Allied invasion of Sicily - Wikipedia

Operation Husky order of battle - Wikipedia
Only RASC Coy mentioned: 346th Company RASC

Not having seen any real detail so far, its difficult to trace his movements any further.
Presume you see some logic in what you're doing.
