Armed Forces / Raf service record help
« on: Saturday 27 October 18 19:20 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out what the units / depots are on my Grandfather's RAF record from 1925, I can't seem to find reference to these, would anyone know the locations of these units?

Thanks in advance
Liam

Hi all recieved a reply from Metropolitan Police Heritage Centre, it's CV-C1 which is the Public Carriage Office: Central Vehicles for the date of 15 December 1920.

Pure guess, but could it be CU for custody unit, after 20 years service it was not unusual to be promoted to a less demanding job, also enhanced the pension and gratuity

Thanks Mike, he became a Divisional Detective Inspector afterwards, until he resigned from C. I. D. @ Bow Street on 25/09/25

Mike, here is more about his postings.

Looks like CU.C.I to me (possibly 6U.C.I)

Not sure if you have already seen this, but on the National Archives site there is a list of letters used for the various divisions (unfortunately it doesn't include anything the seems to fit, but maybe if you have a look there will be something that would make sense to you? http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/london-metropolitan-police/

Thanks C-A

Googling sargeant 2nd clas cid.      Refers to a Inspector assisted by a detective sergeant 1st class, looks like they were ranks only within the CID, within a division.

Mike

Thanks Mike. Thanks guys.
