MYMONSTAR Posted 15 August , 2013 Share Posted 15 August , 2013 Hi all, I hope this is the correct forum to post this one, I have recently started to collect great war trios and joined ancestry to aid my research on the medals but the terms and abbreviations have me a bit lost when it comes to looking deeper into the individual soldiers mic details. Can anyone be as kind as to assist me in the subject if I was to post some of the more awkward ones? Like the one I will post now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rksimpson Posted 15 August , 2013 Share Posted 15 August , 2013 Hi His service records and SWB roll are on Ancestry too. regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYMONSTAR Posted 15 August , 2013 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2013 Hi all thanks for the speedy response.The part that I don't understand is the word in brackets after his rank and also the letters RTS which I have been told is remount training service ?? I have his service records and swb entry. I have his bwm but sadly his v is out among the missing multitude of split sets. I also have seen a forum on the site for mic enquiries so you must forgive me posting on this forum, I will make sure I post the correct forum in future. Regards Davy.

jay dubaya Posted 15 August , 2013 Share Posted 15 August , 2013 The prefix RTS denote Remount Specials and I think that the unit 1/BRD would be Base Remount Depot, I'll have a look later to see if I can expand further on the 1/BRD Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted 15 August , 2013 Share Posted 15 August , 2013 Davy, In case you hadn't picked it up, 1/BRD is 1 Base Remount Depot. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYMONSTAR Posted 15 August , 2013 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2013 yes I only have the bwm ,, any ideas on the word in brackets after his rank ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 15 August , 2013 Share Posted 15 August , 2013 Nagsman, not a term that has widely survived but one that I've heard up north in the past. A Nagsman got the horses ready for their owners or who showed horses in a ring ie at auction Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
