TNA is The National Archive, so the official archives of the UK. If you go to the Discovery catalogue you can search the indexes of the TNA and many, many other archives around the country that have subscribed such as local museums and record offices. Discovery takes some getting used to but is very good once you have it figured out.

Yes good idea, so to disprove the theory I would need to find someone I could be certain had a Post War Credit but does not have PWC against their name...
I'm determined to figure this one out, if only there was an abbreviation list that went with the register!

It is possible PWC may have been added later, however cross-referencing a random selection of people I have found on the 1939 register with the medal rolls on TNA for WW1 all give hits for military service, it seems to be the common denominator... but what does PWC stand for? ???

I really want to know the answer to this question too.

Unfortunately it is definitely not Post War Credit as they did not start until 1942. So far I have found PWC next to the names of 5 personnel who all served in WW1 but different units, so perhaps it is something to do with being on a reserve list?
