Hi, Stewart,
Can you post the whole card / some more of it ? Or state what Regiment/Corps the person was in.

Hi,

I think it might help if the image is shown here. Not everybody wants to login to Google to look at images.   ;)

I have taken the liberty of copying the relevant section of the form and adding it below. If this is in breach of copyright, please let me know and we can get it deleted. But I hope it is OK.  8)



I am afraid I can't help with deciphering the unit, though! :-[

It looks like 110 A Tps.  Could Tps be an abbreviation for Troops? I think it will be some thing to do with 110 A unit/battalion/group. Is there a 110 A anywhere?

110th Army Troops Companies, perhaps?
