Angus (Forfarshire) / Re: Montrose Cemeteries

I’ve visited as I’ve relatives buried there.
It’s a big cemetery. Took me ages to find my great aunt’s grave despite the fact I’d been at her funeral.
Do you know if it is in the old or new part?
Might be worth contacting Angus Council.

Thanks for taking the time to explain all this. I’ve never seen an army record before.

Sorry about the individual messages but I’m struggling to get the images to load and I keep losing the messages when I try to post an image. Very annoying

Re the image with the date change it gives his service for gratuity as 2yrs 62 days
His total o.s (I’m assuming overseas service) as 2 yrs 227 days.
The extra 165 days are accounted for from 22/11/46 - to his discharge date of 7/5/47.

So the mystery to me is what was he doing between being sent to RP on 15/8/46 and returning to duty on 22/11/46.

Has anyone else seen this on army records?

I’m completely unable to get another image of the sticker page. The questions on the form, name address, nationality and that of his parents, marital status and has he ever served in any of the armed forces.

TIA

Re ODT

There’s a stamp next to the major’s signature on his release papers which says OCC DIV TPT that agrees with your finding.

I’ve had a look at a medical from he had done before he did some army training in 1952. It says he had another abscess treated at CRS 24/4/47.

Thanks so much.
I’m wanting to get this into a time line to compare where he was with what was happening in Germany at the time. Think I’m going to be kept busy.

Image from service a casualty form.

It’s the one with the gap in the dates.

Can’t get any of the other photos to attach. Will try again tonight.

Having problems trying to attach photo of sticker
Not sure what’s happening. No message to say the file is too big.
