Interpreting raf record from 1918

[twencelas]

I'm starting to research my family tree and have managed to get hold of his RAF record - Having a little trouble working out where he was actually posted. I have attached his posting record.

Any help appreciated

Is there anything in particular you're looking to interpret?

You might be better off asking here - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/handwriting-deciphering-recognition/


I can see the following, but I'm quite pants at this!

L Concen Camp
Arques France

I think it's "Rein. Depot Arques"  (the Reinforcement Depot at Arques, St Omer)

Thanks both - I was specifically looking for what the abbreviations might mean:
RO I suspect is recruitment office - Is there a list of recruitment offices anywhere - I suspect he then was going to 86 FS (Flying Squadron) but this changed to 30 FDS? (18/07/1918) where he remained until 12/06/19 - then what is 1 Concen Group / 1 Con Group between 12th and 14th June 1919 (It would appear to be some form of transfer) as he then ended up in Rein Park/ Rein Depot (which I have now learnt is a reinforcement depot)

So any details on where I might find recruitment office details or what the 1 Concen Group/ 1 Con Group reference might refer to would be appreciated.

And what the 30FDS was - He was a rigger if that is any help.

There is an Armed Forces board - ask to have this transferred there?
