COMPLETED - What does W.P.P. stand for?
« on: Monday 11 April 11 13:40 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I am still looking at my dad's Army Form B103 Service and Casualty Form.

There are a couple of abbreviations I need help with:

1) What does W.P.P. stand for?
2) What does "STS HFV" stand for?

Hope you can help.

Kind regards,

I think it is AFV - Armoured fighting vehicle, meaning tanks &/or armoured cars.
Don't know about the others, sorry.

Thank you very much, ainslie and plummiegirl,  for your suggestions. They seem correct to me.

A big quack to both of you.  :)
