Seany Posted 26 December , 2020 Share Posted 26 December , 2020 Chums - are you aware of a list or link of ASC prefixes? so, I know M2 before the service number is electrician for example. As I am looking at ASC men serving alongside 293 siege battery in Italy it would be hellpful to build up that picture of trades and skills.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 26 December , 2020 Share Posted 26 December , 2020 (edited) There have been several previous threads on the subject of ASC prefixes. A forum search should bring them up. This is a Good starting point: Edited 26 December , 2020 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 26 December , 2020 Share Posted 26 December , 2020 Just been doing the same for an ASC man with prefixes- Long,Long Trail has an excellent listing of them: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
