Many thanks

Armed Forces / Understanding/reading Training shorthand on Service Record
« on: Sunday 06 February 22 16:16 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me to read some of (my father) Edward Collins' Record of Service papers please? Having been a Bevin Boy, my Dad transferred to the Army (RAC, 3rd Kin's own Hussars) February 1947 to train as a Wireless Operator. There would appear to be a note of training but a lot isn't clearly written and/or I don't understand the abbreviations: "attended course MEW/011 (?) 4/w 175 (?) 17/3/47-10/5/47 at M.E.RAC (?) 5wk (wk or sch ?) class Ce III op. (?) Ynp.C.A (?) - 522/47 M.E.L.F."
   (M.E.L.F. Middle East Land force is the only bit I get!)

there is also this which I don't understand
e17313 A.F.W.(Army Field Workshops?) 5169-EMBARKED DRAFT MELF.
SERIAL DKAAL. Date 15/2/47

I'd be grateful for any help,
Thanks

A snip of the entry should be attached. He was born in 1925

Thanks rosie99, I think Daisypetal is on the right lines (although I can only see 2 numbers)

It is for an entry in the 1939 register on Findmypast, which is not yet open on Ancestry.

Can anyone tell me what the green annotation B25 in the notes section of an entry of the 1939 register means please?

Ireland / Re: Is it the baptism of Jane or John Ennis?

Excellent, thank you dublin1850 - that helps me rule her out as my Jane Ennis, so narrowing down my choices  :)

Ireland / Is it the baptism of Jane or John Ennis?
« on: Tuesday 12 January 21 13:01 GMT (UK)  »
I am confused – how can I work out whether Jane or John is correct/most likely for this baptism?

Ancestry has a register (St Andrew’s church is in Westland Road)

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/6068/images/41885_b154581-00456?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true&_ga=2.11226228.1381905130.1610222558-35260650.1605297595&pId=208975
 
With the same entries in different handwriting it is a different register, except this time it is Jane – not John, but all other details seem the same!

Thanks for reading and hope someone has an idea?
