I was really surprised mark they were so comprehensive all I expected was a couple of pages with name rank number and date enlisted & date de-mobbed etc!!!!
There's lots of abbreviations I can't understand even tho the mod send with it a 4 page list of abbreviations some arnt on could do with a hand translating some, ie RZJJV ??? Some of the hand writing I can't follow either!!!
Anybody know also how to change the subject header for this post to show his correct no. and unit etc?
Cheers

Hi Phil
I haven't had the chance to go through the record yet parts of which you sent me. I'll have a look tomorrow. In the meantime I have edited the title of this post as you requested
