Towards the end of the war, in Feb 1945, while my Dad was stationed in Rhyl, North Wales, after being overseas from 1939 to late 1944, he wrote "406 inspection in the morning." Any ideas what a 406 inspection was?
Hi According to this, BBC - WW2 People's War - The Life of a Desert Rat Part 1 a 406 was a vehicle check, similar to an MOT. Regards Gus
From “FUBAR: Soldier Slang of World War II” by Gordon Rottman: Do a 406 – Complete a vehicle inspection. Army Book 406 was a log stating a vehicle’s condition, repairs, defects etc. Richard
