beresford69 Posted 15 April , 2011 Share Posted 15 April , 2011 As part of the North Russian Relief Force, my Great Uncle sailed from Tyne Dock on the Porto on 27th May 1919 and was greeted as he got off the boat at Archangel by (his brother) my Grandfather, who according to an old family letter was ‘APM in Archangel’. It was the last time they saw each other. Has anyone heard of this term and what it stands for? My Grandfather was I understand in the 24th (Tank Corps) Officer Cadet Battalion until released from the service mid-1919. Presumably the position was in some way connected to that but perhaps someone with knowledge on the events in North Russia at this time might know.

Staffsyeoman Posted 16 April , 2011 Share Posted 16 April , 2011 APM = Assistant Provost Marshal; a policing role, not necessarily a post held by a Military Policeman at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
