World War Two / Help needed with 8th Army Signals abbreviations please
« on: Saturday 06 July 19 17:30 BST (UK) »
Hello all
I have received copies of the service record for my Grandfather George and I am rather confused by many of the abbreviations but mostly I am curious about where he went and what he did really.
I see that he started with the 4th L of C Signals (which I think might stand for Lines of Communication?) as a driver but later trained as a signalman. I find this interesting because upon his return to civilian life he joined the GPO and worked as a telephone engineer, whereas before the war he worked as a driver for a funeral director so his army service must have equipped him well for the future.
I would really appreciate any help anyone could offer about the war my Grandad had.
Thank you in advance
