Small world! Yes, now I see that he has RASC on the front of his Service and Casualty form.

Thanks for sharing, ScouseBoy.

 Thank you RRTB and MaxD.  I'm having some technical difficulties. I tried scanning in a section into my computer (successfully) and then uploading it here (unsuccessfully)- even though the file is smaller than the max allowed. Any suggestions about this?

PS he was a private and I believe was in the 8th Army.

Many thanks indeed for this link. It provides me with all the information I need. I did already post another query about service record abbreviations - (by mistake- should have combined the two queries apparently!)

Your assistance has been most helpful!

Many thanks, ScouseBoy for your help. This seems to confirm what I thought which is that these medals are awarded for participation in a certain region during a particular timeframe.

No question in my mind at all that anyone participating in WWII in any capacity was doing valuable work. I just wanted to find out if the work was physically located "on the front lines" or further back. As he was a driver, it could have been either. His name was Frank Payne and his service # was 235907.

I'm sorry if I have made a posting mistake.

First, I don't know how to do this. Second, I am asking for help with two different queries. Third, my sense from following this board is that really long queries are not as likely to be replied to as  shorter queries.
