Grandad Michael Brogans Army Service Record
« on: Sunday 06 February 22 08:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi I have received my Grandads service records but I’m struggling to read some of it especially the posting on 15/08/41. Any help you could give me would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi Sinton,

I'm not at all sure but the line for 15.8.41 might be: Home Details Posted

A bit of googling with some of the abbreviations has brought up:

RA = Royal Artillery

AA = Anti Aircraft

Bty = Battery

Hopefully someone with more military knowledge than me will pitch in soon to help.

Best regards, Tony.
