I am writing about my
father's experiences in WW2 from his letters. Many army
abbreviations in addresses had me puzzled but I have solved them
all except M.T.S.C. (followed by R.A.O.C.). Please can anyone
tell me what M.T.S.C. stood for?

History of RNZEME |
|
Message: |
I am writing the
official corps history of the RNZEME, and am trying to find
information on two REME officers who in WWII were attached to the
2 NZ Division. They were Lt Col McNeil (or MacNeil), OC of 324
Armd Tps Wksp, and his successor Lt Col Whiteley (the unit was
renamed 661 ATW in 1944). Any hints as to how to find more on
these chaps, both of whom were awarded OBEs. We don't even know
their first names! Any tips most welcomed. Cheers - Peter Cooke,
Wellington, NZ.

I would be grateful
for some help finding out which campaigns my Grandfather fought in
during WW2. My Grandfather Stanley Davenport TT Fitter MV
(16TTC/61 Sect.) RAOC transferred to REME WEF 1942 was awarded the
Italy Star, 1939/45 Star, African Star (BNAF 44OA/44) with1st Army
Bar (CMF 2161A/44). Family rumour has it that he was at The Battle
of Monte Cassino. Unfortunately his army records tell me little
more than the date he embarked for North Africa (29th October
1942). Additionally I have a battered photograph of him in Bari
Italy dated 1944. Any and all information would be gratefully
received. I can be contacted by e-mail.

My father, Frank
Slade, served with the RASC and REME as a tank transporter driver
throughout WW2. He was mainly attached to the 8th Army and served
throughout North Africa, Italy and Europe. Sadly, he passed away
37 years ago but I feel that the time has now come to research his
war service as a tribute to him. Part of this research involves
the uniform and insignia he would have worn. I have only one
grainy studio portrait photo of him wearing the typical khaki
British battle dress uniform but any insignia worn is unclear. I
would be grateful for any information that could be offered
concerning this request. Thank you.

Hello, I'm researching
my family tree and am hoping there may be some one on here who
knew my late father. His name was Charles Crane and he was in
Korea from 2/10/1950 to 18/6/1952 and I remember him mentioning
Kure? in Japan. From his old driving licences I found the
following addresses: 57 Coy RASC Hargraves Park Camp, Stansted and
46 Coy RASC
Shorncliffe Camp, Kent. I also know he joined at High Leigh on
30/4/1948. If anyone remembers him I would dearly love to hear
from you, many thanks.
