horatio2 Posted 14 January , 2009 Share Posted 14 January , 2009 Could be a mis-reading of "E. Force France" - Expeditionary Force - which is where he was serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubblejumper Posted 17 January , 2009 Author Share Posted 17 January , 2009 Thanks for the welcome. Definately looks like a *G* But will take it as misreading of E. Thanks for your help Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Morcombe Posted 19 January , 2009 Share Posted 19 January , 2009 Just had a look at his ADM159, it reads "Ex. Force France." I have copies of all Portsmouth Short-service RMLI ADM159s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
