Title: Royal Marines record abbreviation
Post by: Phil Antony on Sunday 17 March 19 16:16 GMT (UK)
This is part of the Royal Marines Description Books (ADM158), and written in the Observations column is the word that looks like yd/jd/fd or sd? I can't work out what it is short for. It occurs alot in entries for different servicemen. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

I'd suggest Td, for Transferred.
