Hi again Further to my previous message, I've just done a quick "google" and found, on http://www.stauntonfhs.org.uk/Abbreviations.htm#U USD - Urban Sanitary Council (which obviously isn't quite right!)

Hi All I have an idea that this isn't a military thing at all. ISTR that it stands for "Urban Sanitary (or Sanitation?) District - or something like that. I think it's used on the Census.

Good evening all, Has anyone ever come across the initials U S D with a military connection and possibly tied to a location ? The question has been passed to me second-hand from a researcher in Australia, no idea in what context it first appeared - am assuming it is not US Dollars !
