I would go for the stamp being ACSEA = Air Command South East Asia.

There is a similar career path explored in an old thread here http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/showthread.php?18237-Researching-my-father-s-RAF-record-Michael-O-Keefe-1797664

A short history of RAF airfield construction and the various groups in RAF Historical Society Journal 51 https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/documents/research/RAF-Historical-Society-Journals/Journal-51.pdf

Although in the link for the historical society you posted they didn’t talk or mention the squadrons I’m looking for; that was an extremely interesting read. And I feel it’s given me a greater understanding of the role. Thank you for sharing that, it was very helpful and interesting I enjoyed reading it.

And yes I think it may be south east Asia aswell. I’m hoping to try find out where exactly.

Unlikely.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm just wondering the record on 19/10/42 "11 wks sqdn 112 flt" what this means? I looked up 11 squadron which came up as a fighter squadron in Sri lanka. I'm not sure this would be right

Hi I've got my family's RAF record from WW2. We don't know anything about what he had done, the document is a bit hard to understand there's lots of different squadron numbers.

Is it possible to tell from this what sort of role/job he had during the war?

Is it possible to see if he was overseas at any point? We believe he mentioned Belgium but we're not sure.

There's some special qualifications on there but its hard to read what they say.

There's dates on it from 1946 too, is there any clues what he would of been doing after the war?

thanks

For those interested in WW2 and don't want to wait many years for public access. There's a UK Gov petition here to make them all public. I think you'd be interested in signing it.
