johndavidswarbrick Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 I need a little help here, I have the following on a MIC: "Swarbrick Arthur, L.C.H.S., Pob Coy/ Private, 287048, 581st Battalion" Can anyone enlighten me as to what the initials actually refer? Thanks Dave Swarbrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 Dave. LC is Labour Corp. HS is Home Service it could be "Labour Corps Home Service" not sure what Pob Company is though. Aye Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 Dave is it actually written as Pob? I have seen P.B Bn before which I learned was Permenant Base Battalion, just wondering if it's somthing similar cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 I believe it actually says "H S Lab Coy" or Home Service Labour Company. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 I agree with Steve, the full title of abbreviations would read... "Labour Corps. Home Service Labour Company. 581st Battalion" Aye Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivor Lee Posted 3 July , 2009 Share Posted 3 July , 2009 I agree it is 581st. It should be Company not Battalion. 581 was a Home Service Employment Company stationed at Felixstowe Ivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
