Guest andrewjames Posted 26 April , 2003 Share Posted 26 April , 2003 Hi, embarking on a search for info on my grandfather who joined from australia.He began in the Royal Horse Artillery then transferred to the Royal Field Artillery. Can anyone help me with some abbreviations. what does SGF stand for? His id tag says SGF He is described as being in DAS Brigade, 46th Division. then there is a number "5708-2" Can anyone explain this to me? What does DAS stand for? On his gas bag/mask it says "C/148". What does this refer to? thanks, andrew James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 26 April , 2003 Share Posted 26 April , 2003 Andrew Could C/148 stand for C Battery, 148 Brigade? This was a unit of the 30th Division. He could have been transferred to another unit, or simply picked up somebodyelse's haversack. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Coulson Posted 26 April , 2003 Share Posted 26 April , 2003 Andrew, Are you sure it says DAS.? If it was DAC, it would indicate Divisional Ammunition Column. Just a thought. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
