Just as an aside Doug .... the guy who arrested Mata Hari in Paris in WW1 was a DAPM !! ..... Colonel Ralph Sneyd :)

so a Divisional Acting Provost Marshall sounds about right !! ......... just thought you might like that piece of trivia !! :D

Thanks for the replies, very informative

So is it Deputy Assistant Provost Marshal or Divisional Acting Provost Marshal or could it stand for Department of the Army, Provost Marshal ? And can a Captain take on that role?
