infantry training centres of 1942

Can anyone tell me where no8 infantry training centre was in the Uk in 1942 and If anything special was trained for there alongside an infantry soldier

 

8 Infantry Training Centre was located at Queen's Barracks in Perth. I believe it was used for training the Jocks

 

Queens barracks Perth was the home of the Black Watch along with Dundee's drill hall - some were trained as commandos/paras etc

Cheers

 

To round it out, No.8 ITC served the Black Watch and the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.

 

can any one tell me who the Black Watch were ? and if they trained in southern England Sept / October 1942 ie Salisbury Plain

Does anyone know where the 2nd and 5th Infantry Training Centres in WWII were please?

Also, might anyone know the meaning of these entries on an Army Service Record:

- 21 CTC (PS) or possibly 2 ICTC(PS)
- "Posted to OTPS"
- "Draft RNW YG" or "Draft RHW YG"?

Thanks

Just picking this one up since no one has yet answered.

As far as I can gather "CTC" is "Combined Training Centre" - where all arms of the services received training in combined operations. There is a good website here - The primary task of WW2 Combined Operations was to plan for the invasion of mainland Europe following the evacuation at Dunkirk. It's synonymous with Commando raids and landings, landing craft design, training of personnel from the 3 services in amph

and this page lists the actual CTCs known to the webmaster - COMBINED OPS TRAINING ESTABLISHMENTS

I can't find No. 21 - but it could be any of the listed places (except those like Inverary - No. 1 CTC - and HMS Brontosaurus - NO. 2 CTC - that have numbers already).

I could be totally wrong on all this but it's worth a look and possibly an email to the webmaster.
