SP BRANCH WAR OFFICE

[brussells1]

Hello

I have my mothers Soldiers Service and Pay Book under employment in 1942 indicates Sht/Typist I assume Shorthand Typist, it then indicates SP Branch War Office Highly Specialised (I think the next bit is Sgt) she was a Sergeant in the ATS. She did mention spending some time in France and North Africa and she also mentioned working for the Admiralty in Chelsea?

Is the reference to SP actually S Branch? also what would the reference to Highly Specialised mean? would I be able to have access to her Forces records because most websites only cover the first World War?

Thank you for any leads that I may be able to follow.
