I was just looking back at the queery that i posted of an entry in my great uncles service records. The one about the Camp or Company that he was in when he went to the Kinmel Camp for repatriation. I'm wondering now if the word in his service record is "Concentration Camp"? I found the war diaries ...

Thanks for the imput on my queeries. Can anyone tells me what the No. 6 means which shows when my great uncle went from Witley to Kinmel Park? Could this indicate the camp he went to at Kinmel Park or a sub unit perhaps? I found a picture showing the Kinmel Park area circa 1919 which shows Camp 6 be...

Another item that i am perplexed about is a service form entry. It shows my soldier as being part of the 12th Reserve and being TOS at a "Camp or Company" in the MD#1 District . It shows that ( if im reading this right) he could have been at the RHYL Camp which i understand to have been part of the ...

Hey thanks Phil for the insight. I never thought of the typo with typewriter before. But being that the War Diary also showed a K in its remarks for drafts of men leaving for Kinmel Park, i think it does mean that they were on their way to Kinmel Park and this was thier way of saying it. I havent fo...

Hello everyone. Im wondering if anyone could shed light on an item from a Great Uncles service records ( Regiment Number 652270) from World War 1. The letter K was inserted instead of a number in his date. What is shown is 28-K-19. I also found this reference in the War diary for the 3rd reserve Bat...

This information is very interesting and helpful. Thank you for answering. I believe it is spurious as you indicated. When i found the part ll daily orders I was able to match up the dates with my Uncles Service Records. That is when he was with the 1st canadian parachute training battalion but noth...

Was wondering if anyone could help. I was hoping i could find the Daily Orders Part ll for the "S-5 Driving and Mechanic School" in wooodstock Ontario, during the war years. I'm specifically looking for the time from Sept. 27th 1945 to March 1946. My Uncle was a paratrooper and when they were disban...

This is all great stuff. His name is Arthur Wellington Hodge Regimental number A-11289 and was part of the 1st Canadian Parachute Training Company but that named changed to the 1st Canadian Parachute Training Battalion. He received his wings and was in the UK but he did not have to fight in any of t...

I was hoping someone would know what the Interim force was? My Uncle was a paratrooper in the 1st Canadian Parachute battalion and after the war on his service records it indicates that he was accepted into the Interim force. I have been unable to find out what that is or what it means. Thanks. Ive ...

To Khugar, No problem. Any information is good information. I know how things can be confusing. I also had the stumbling block of the nominal rolls and war diaries. I did though interpret from the War diaries that in June of 1945, All Bn personnel were sent to a repatriation camp and from there they...
