Royal Artillery abbreviation help needed please

[L]

I am looking at a service record for a relative in WW2. It states that he enlisted in April 1944 and in May was posted to 9 P.T.C. in Glasgow. Is anyone able to tell me what this refers to please? I can make out most of the rest.
Thank you,
Lesley

I think PTC stands for Personnel and Training Command. Would that make sense if this posting was at the beginning of his army career? Not sure if that acronym only refers to the RAF though.

Many thanks for that.
Kind regards

It isn't an RA abbreviation.  It was No 9 Primary Training Centre, one of the first places men were sent to learn how to march, put their uniform on and whitewash coal before going somewhere for their training for their regiment/corps.

The RAF's Personnel and Training Command is a post war relatively recent construct, (1994) it didn't exist in WW2.  It no longer exists having been merged with Strike Command to form Air Command.

Many thanks.  Things are making more sense. The man was later transferred to the RA.
I do have another query. At one point the authorisation for transfer states:
WOUM 112/MISC/4368(MP3)

Does anyone have any clue as to what that means?
Thank you.

It is simply the letter reference which authorised the transfer (it would usually have a date related to it).

Once again, thank you, and yes, it did have a date after it. The rest of it I can understand, I think!
Regards.

Ask away if more queries.  (Always a good idea to show a clip of the original if poss to cross check interpretation).
