    Hi All,

    See attached one page from a service record. NVAH to do with Trade Recruit information, I wondered if it translated as Non vital * * ?

    Any ideas warmly welcomed. :)

    I wonder if it refers to a handbook of some sort - ? paragraph 146.3.

    For some reason I think it might relate to release from a reserved occupation.

    Non-voluntary? Not Valid?

    Thanks to all four with this. Just trying to illuminate a bit on a 1944 Chindit for the family.

    If you want to supply a name, quite happy to see if he is in the 1939 register for any clues?

    As Tony56 mentions there might be something in his personal history/life

    N = National perhaps

    National Volunteer/National Vocational

    I've been playing with possibilities.

    N.V.A... makes me think 'Not Verified As...' we need to know what that reference, "146.3", is.

    Thanks Tony,

    I would have taken you up on the offer, but the family have reservations about going public with this one.
