Remembered Today:

Meaning of ORL

Hi,

I keep coming across this in a war diary. I expect it's something very simple but I can't work it out. 

Can anyone please tell me what it means?

TIA

Can you give an example in a sentence?

Good idea Acknown.

"The enemy shelled ORL with shrapnel"

Then again he also writes OBL as in "our OBL very clean" so maybe ORL is really OBL or visa versa! 

but I'm still no wiser. :unsure:

It could be "our rear lines".
