BillyH Posted 2 July , 2018 Share Posted 2 July , 2018 Attached is a scrap of a service record, I understand most of it but would like to know what the first line actually says : "Joined No. 232 D.U.B. (Sta ? ? ? ? ? Staff)" - queries highlighted in red, but especially what does the D.U.B. or D.U.S. stand for? BillyH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 2 July , 2018 Share Posted 2 July , 2018 (edited) Looks like 'Station Staff' to me. They had at least one 'Station Staff Company' - http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-army-service-corps-in-the-first-world-war/army-service-corps-horse-transport-companies/ Craig Edited 2 July , 2018 by ss002d6252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyH Posted 2 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 2 July , 2018 Thanks to you all for that, it will be Depot Unit Supply. The medal roll for him has "Transferred to R.A.S.C. (P&L)" - and I believe P&L was packing and loading. BillyH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waggoner Posted 3 July , 2018 Share Posted 3 July , 2018 Presumably the prefix to his service number contains an “S”? All the hest, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
