liverpool annie Posted 24 July , 2008 Share Posted 24 July , 2008 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 !!
