Brewin Girl, REME charged you £49?  I would have done it for £20 lol :(  Hope they provided plenty of info for you.

Hey ho, we learn the hard way! I have had a 10 page comprehensive document some of which confirms what I already knew but with much more detail, so I don't feel I can complain.

Now that is good, 10 pages of info.  That is top notch value to be fair.

Returning to the "E12" part: there was a medical category 'E' which was for men who were "unfit and unlikely to become fit within 6 months".

Hysteria visceral is one of the three types of hysteria, which is discussed briefly here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25273487

Some of the words require further researching to find out what they mean!!
