My talktalk email server won't send at the moment so hope this alternative email address will let this get to SOG Digest Original Message: From: Tricia Adam <adcotri@talktalk.net> To: SOG-UK@rootsweb.com <SOG-UK@rootsweb.com> Sent: 14 June 2014 16:33:58 Subject: Military abbreviations I have been lucky enough to find the World War 1 record of a great uncle in the 'Burnt Documents' on Ancestry. Please can anyone tell me what the initials C.R.W.C. stand for? I have looked at the list of abbreviations on the Long, Long Trail website but those above do not appear. The word before C.R.W.C appears to be Authorize and it is when he was promoted to Lance Corporal and transferred to another battalion. When he was taken prisoner of war the column which lists 'Regiment 'has ' C2 Cas (?Gas) PM' . Any ideas on this anyone?
