That says to me that he completed his training with the Specialist Wing which he started in Nov 40 and in Jan 41 goes back to be "parked" in the Holding Company and sent on embarkation leave, so still in 12 Trg Bn in Aldershot.  He doesn't move anywhere, it is just him being put "on the books" of different elements of 12 Trg Bn.  Then hospital gets in the way and he is Y listed.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

I'd love to know why he was admitted to the Botleys Park hospital - looks like he was there for a while.

MOD doesn't release medical histories for that period unfortunately.

Life would be boring if we knew the answers to all our questions!

To say nothing of the disastrous effect on Rootschat!

I have just found a Photo of my grandfather, Theres no names on it but at the bottom of the photo it says Tarver Squad 2 COY RASC June 25th 1940.
And on the back of the photo is written

1940 Before going overseas. calling at Cape Town on the way to the Middlwe East.

Hi Steve and welcome to Rootschat.
I would guess that the Tarver Squad your grandfather was in was two ahead of the squad that contained the OP's uncle. Basic training lasted about 12 weeks and we have seen no evidence that the Tarver squads overlapped.
