[Second entry]

I'm a little perplexed on a close relatives war experience and I can't find the acronyms - i.e what they relate to. On that section it appears to be medal awards (lower down in the same section a group of Brigadiers have some decent awards that can be googled - MC's etc.

Me and my brother know little about his service. Bar two entries in an archive. We beleive he was in the Royal Artillery in WW1 before becoming a Pilot Cadet and being based at Ypres and another location but his WW2 experience is very difficult to pin point.

Any help much appreciated.

Is that an O or a C? He was a lieutenant so probably some menial dogsbody role, Gunnery Maintenance Officer or similar.
C. Not the red pencilled. The one below.

Deleted my other post because I'm an idiot.

Is it possible it means attached to the Commander Royal engineers south midland division?
Could be/good call.
