Gardenerbill Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 I have just started transcribing the war diary of this ASC unit and have found an abbreviation that I don't understand. The first dozen or so entries relate to the setting up of the company and contain several similar statements e.g. '11 men detailed from N0 3 Mob Reserve Depot Bulford to 801 Coy ASC MT' I know Bulford is a barracks on the edge of Salisbury plain still used today by the Royal Logistics Corps. My question is what does 'Mob' mean. Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 Just a guess but "mobilised" from No 3 Coy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardenerbill Posted 10 October , 2013 Author Share Posted 10 October , 2013 Thanks IPT, I think your on the right lines, I have edited the first post I had missed out 'reserve depot'. I have done a bit more research in Michael Young's ASC book and I am now fairly certain it is just an abbreviation for Mobilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
