Chris Bent Posted 22 February , 2015 Share Posted 22 February , 2015 I am searching for information about Major JM Higginbottom. He lived at 50 Abbotts Vale, Barrow. I have a case he owned with his address in it, but no other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBrook Posted 22 February , 2015 Share Posted 22 February , 2015 If you put "J. M. Higginbottom" into the London Gazette search (such as it is), Maj. Higginbottom appears to have served in WW2 and after in the Royal Pioneer Corps, and relinquished his commission in 1957 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/41279/supplement/212 Edit: Could this be your "Major J. M. Higginbottom"? http://www.ourmansfieldandarea.org.uk/page_id__686.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 22 February , 2015 Share Posted 22 February , 2015 Probably John Mayhew Higginbottom 1908-1993. There are some sort of 1927 military papers on FMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bent Posted 22 February , 2015 Author Share Posted 22 February , 2015 Thanks Gentlemen. Really appreciate the feedback. Think this might be my man. His career with the Atomic Energy Commission could easily have placed him in Barrow. Sorry for my ignorance, but what is FMP? Is there anywhere I should search for his Second World War experience? Many thanks. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bent Posted 24 February , 2015 Author Share Posted 24 February , 2015 Worked out FMP and have checked that reference thanks. The trunk that I have says HRAEMBN, HQ, BOMBAY, (2). Any ideas what the HRAEMBN stands for? I guess the RA is Royal Artillery and maybe BN is Battalion? Many thanks again. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
