    I am trying to understand the rank circled in the image below which appears in the Unit Diary.

    P3670157.JPG

    Further reading of the diary suggests that the rank could be Armament (Artificer) Section [or Squad] Sergeant.

    Below is the full section concerning the rank.

    Any help on clarification is greatly appreciated.

    Perhaps it’s Armourer Staff Sergeant?

    Steve,

    That sounds much better than my guess, more military and easier to get one's tongue around.

    Hi

    Extract from History of 23rd Armoured Brigade RAOC/REME Workshops (found in WO 170/583)

    Looking at this it may be Armament or Armourer.

    My father was a RAOC Driver in 1st Armoured Division Workshop from September 1941 to August 1942.

    Hope this helps
