Technical Help / Re: Best way to post picture for restoration from Android device

Thank you for the reply.  I wasn't sure if I could get away with just posting it from the phone or if I would have to transfer it, like you said, to the pc first and then send it.

Technical Help / Best way to post picture for restoration from Android device
« on: Wednesday 07 April 21 21:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I was wondering if there was a specific way of posting a picture for restoration on here from an Android phone?  The info I've read seems to be about posting them from computers?
Thank you.

It's a bit like reading the census records....you either can't understand the writing/squiggles or what they've crossed out and written in abbreviations on top. 

I don't understand all the army abbreviations either...and I've tried looking up A.C.I 470, thinking it must be a regulation of some sort, but can't find anything online to say what it may mean.

That's great...thank you...my Granduncle spent his whole school and working life in the military so it's been difficult to put together the records we have as they don't actually say where he went, how long he was there etc.  We believe he was attached to the ghurkas around 1942 for a little while, but I can't find anything to confirm this.  Was hoping getting his service records may shed some light on it all.
Cheers

Sorry, going off the trail here, but when you say father-in-law.....does that mean WW2 records?  I only ask as I'm trying to find them about my Granduncle.
Cheers

Thank you for clarifying that. I found pictures of it on Ancestry.  Wasn't sure if A.C.I 470 meant something specific pertaining to whatever he had told them about his age?

Researching through the Games family from Talgarth, there's mention of an age discrepancy. It's not very clear, but I think it says he belongs to the 15th R Batty, RFA, and the note sent says that his medical was A.I, having attained the age of 19.  The next note mentions his actual birthday and that they are to  "deal with this man in accordance with A.C.I 470 of 1918".

Does anyone know what all the abbreviations mean please?
Thank you
