Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / WW2 Service Record Help
« on: Saturday 28 January 23 23:04 GMT (UK) »

Ceased to be mastered as tradesmen clerk _?_ _?_ of 8 SM _?_ ceased to _?_ Attd _?_ _?_ transferred to RASC _?_
Any help is much appreciated.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Military paper decipher
« on: Wednesday 18 January 23 18:43 GMT (UK) »
I finally received my grandfathers military papers from ww2 and on one of the pages it says he was at Naval training for 3 years which no one ever knew.
I can't read the rest of it though. I think it says Naval training something something from 1929 - 1932.
Any help would be much appreciated.

World War Two / Re: RASC North Africa Question
« on: Friday 25 March 22 11:57 GMT (UK) »
I sent away for it 10 months ago but we haven't heard anything back. It confused me because from the research I've done the Northamptonshire regiment is an infantry unit but he was RASC.

World War Two / RASC North Africa Question
« on: Friday 25 March 22 11:36 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to research my grandfathers military details. I know he was in the RASC in Tunisia in 1943, he then went on to Italy. In 1944-5 he was in Norway. My question is he was in the RASC but he had a cap badge and blazer badges for the Northamptonshire regiment and he spoke about the 8th army, I've tried to research but get more confused, would the RASC been part of the Northamptonshire regiment or would he of transferred to them. All the documents I have put him in the RASC but never mention the Northamptonshire Regiment. I've added two pictures which I have. Any help much appreciated.

The Common Room / Census with no address and question
« on: Thursday 06 January 22 12:11 GMT (UK) »
I have a 1921 census with my grandfather on aged 7 but nowhere does it list the address just comes under institution, being as he was in Romford is it likely to be the Romford workhouse.
Also some people in the same institution are listed as patients and others are listed as inmates, does anyone know why that would be.
Thank you all for any help

My aunt had learning difficulties of some kind and ended up in a mental asylum so that's what they are referring to. She died not long after being admitted at the age of 20.
