tiswot Posted 6 May , 2015 Share Posted 6 May , 2015 Hi Could anyone tell me what the abbreiviation AM Col, is for, I have come across it in a war diary, the sentance is 'the whole brigade (less AM Col) moved to new area' The war diary is the 36th Div, 154th Brigade RFA, Nov 1915 - Aug 1916 Thank you in advance, Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tullybrone Posted 6 May , 2015 Share Posted 6 May , 2015 Hi, It means Ammunition Column - you often see DAC as well meaning Divisional Ammunition Column. Steve Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiswot Posted 6 May , 2015 Author Share Posted 6 May , 2015 Thanks Guys, I was thinking along the lines of Army Medical! So this would mean that Ammunition was not always carried along with the Guns? How many men would there be as part of ammunition column? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waggoner Posted 6 May , 2015 Share Posted 6 May , 2015 I believe that there were both Brigade and Divisional Ammunition Columns. In this case, it appears to have been the brigade one, there may be something about them in the Long, Long Trail section. All the best, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
