My husband is a Military history boff. He doesn't know (sounds funny in retrospect doesn't it?) but he has posted a question on several of his war forums. So if no-one else on the mailing list can help - you do have a bunch of war boff's on it for you.

Good day Does anyone know what the abbreviation 'ACP' stands for in a military context?

Reason departure: returned home, ACP Fordsburg. . Reason departure: gone to live per ACP. Destination: Johannesburg. . Reason departure: to town, per ACP.
