I am researching the service record of a Australian soldier during WW1. While able to interpret some of the Army abbreviations, I am unable to decipher others. I will appreciate any help that may be offered. M/I to 15th Tng.Bn. Hurdcott Admitted to 5th D.R.S. - Hellux, Valgus Trans. to Gen.Hosp Reuin (I assume this is the General Hospital at Rouen, France) Discharged from Hosp. and M/I to A.D.B.D. Etaples Attached to No.3.A.G.H. Abberville for duty Rejoined N0.%. A.G.H. ex leave Ceased to be attached and M/S to A.I.R.D. M/I to No.2. Co.Depot Weymouth from France Thanks, John
Hi John I think the M stands for muster, so this soldier was basically being transferred to various divisions. Trg.Bn. Hurdcott is probably the training battalion A.G.H. Is probably Army General Headquarters plus location Sue Sent from my virtual place On 2012-02-19, at 5:33 PM, "John D.
