Title: Passenger List Abbrieviation
Post by: Kigi on Saturday 08 February 25 10:44 GMT (UK)

Looking at an incoming passenger list for the HMT Empire Clyde from Singapore to Liverpool in 1953, a significant number of passengers, including the people I am interested in, have an address of c/o E.S.O. Liverpool.

I am assuming it is a military department, but have been unable to find out what it stands for.

(A number of other passengers say c/o R.A.F. Liverpool but this is more self explanatory.)

Can anyone help please?

Did find ESO in this list but not convinced as I can t find anything else out about Equipment Support Organization. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a757b41e5274a1622e2221e/acronyms_and_abbreviations_dec08.pdf

Thank you, that makes more sense. My googling kept bringing up Symphony Orchestras!
