TullochArd Posted 5 March , 2020 Share Posted 5 March , 2020 I'd offer 1. "Raid scare ceased" ……... but that is some dodgy handwriting …….. maybe the Adjutant was a medical man in a previous life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffnut453 Posted 5 March , 2020 Share Posted 5 March , 2020 I think 1. is "Vehicles and...." but I can't help with the 3rd word. Would the unit role provode any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 5 March , 2020 Share Posted 5 March , 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, TullochArd said: I'd offer 1. "Raid scare ceased" Yes, od course it's Raid not Rail. 1 hour ago, TullochArd said: that is some dodgy handwriting …….. maybe the Adjutant was a medical man in a previous life? Watch it! Actually I thought Biffo was hinting at that from the title..."More unreadable Docs". 10 minutes ago, Buffnut453 said: I think 1. is "Vehicles and...." but I can't help with the 3rd word. Would the unit role provode any clues? It's "transferred" Biffo generously gave us that one. Edited 5 March , 2020 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 7 March , 2020 Share Posted 7 March , 2020 (edited) Ah yes, "Terrifor", was the address for telegrams I think. 2 hours ago, Marilyne said: I thought I had a bad handwriting There's no such thing as bad handwriting. 'Alternative' may be a more apt description. Edited 7 March , 2020 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
