badgersnr Posted 1 December , 2014 Share Posted 1 December , 2014 I bought a 1915 Trio to 7930 Pte William C Baden HLI His MIC says he was later AOC No. T/1324 his rank is given as AMT/S/Sjt I know AMT refers to ammunition or similar S/Sjt is obviously Staff/Sjt My query is what did an AMT. Staff Sergeant do any AOC experts enlighten me please. All the best Alun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Posted 1 December , 2014 Share Posted 1 December , 2014 Not an AOC expert but I think this is Armament Staff Sergeant as in this LLT link (scroll down to AOC) and here from the boltonrevisited website: BARFORD, Armament Staff Sergeant John William * No.T/442 Royal Army Ordnance Corps attached “Y” Battery, 15th Brigade, R.H.A. Staff Sergeant Barford was born in West Ham, Essex, and enlisted Woolwich, Kent. Killed in action on May 10, 1915. Buried Pink Farm Cemetery, Helles. On May 10, 1915, Staff Sergeant James Hall of “Y” Battery noted in his diary: Lost my best friend, Sergeant Barford, who was killed just as we were talking together about a job we had just completed on one of the guns. Suggest Armament Staff Sergeants looked after field guns and Armourer Staff Sergeants smaller arms.. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgersnr Posted 1 December , 2014 Author Share Posted 1 December , 2014 Thanks for the reply Mike. Your answer looks to be a very good solution. The link is also very good and as you say does make a distinction between Armament and armourer quite clear. As his MIC clearly says AMT I think it is almost certainly Armament. Wonder how he went from the HLI to the AOC? That's another question, probably never know the answer unfortunately. Regards Alun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
