AOC lieutenant
« on: Tuesday 13 February 07 21:56 GMT (UK) »
I have a missing link, i have discovered the will of one of my relatives, in his will dated 1918  he left his estate to his brother, LIEUTENANT AOC ALBERT EDWARD HEMINGWAY - can anyone tell me what this rank means, i think it is RAF, i cant find any death records for him, he was last on 1901 census in yorkshire - any ideas where to search from here.

regards
lol

Hi Lol,

I would say that he was a Lieutenant in the Army Ordnance Corps (AOC).

Hope this helps
