Hi

Could anyone tell me what attached 'A & S Gp No.28 -C- means please?

My Uncle was with No. 5 Central Workshop REME at Old Dalby - 6th Feb 1945.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. Might be worth firing off an enquiry to the REME Museum: https://www.rememuseum.org.uk/research

Perfect!  Thanks so much.  I discovered this: Class A was the standard release whereby people were released in accordance with a formula based on age and length of service.  Class B was a special skill release and Class C a compassionate release.  Also a mention online in a Parliamentary debate: Lieut. Commander Hutchison asked the Secretary of State for War whether soldiers are eligible for release in Class C on grounds of exceptional domestic hardship. (Answer was yes).

Thanks Ross and Andy!
