What was Course D15 with reference to Weapons Training School Eastern Command?
« on: Monday 28 February 22 16:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I'm helping my best friend work through a war service record and we've come to an impasse. I can't for the life of me find out what sort of weapons training school course D15 was about.

My friend's relative attended the Eastern Command Weapons Training School to complete this course in 1941. If anyone is able to shed any light on what the course entailed we would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance,

RRTB

Could it be the Eastern & South-Eastern Command, Weapon Training School, Holmwood, Nr Dorking.

I don't know about the D15 course, but the above training school offered a 4-day Spigot Mortar Bombardment Course in 1941.

Hi Hillhurst,

Thanks for your reply.

The soldier in question was at this Training School from 6/4/41 to 3/6/41, so assuming that the course was of that duration it may have included but not been specific for the spigot mortar.
