Canadian Records - C.A.M.C. T.S.

[David Seymour]

A man whose career I am following was transferred, in Decemebr 1915, from the 1st Canadian Field Ambulance to "C.A.M.C. T.S.", at Shorncliffe.  Clearly "C.A.M.C" is Canadian Army Medical Corps, but can anyone help with what is meant by "T.S."?  Many thanks for any help you can give.  David

** Acronyms & Abbreviations: CEF Service Records & War Diaries

The private records of Canadian Expeditionary Force soldiers may contain a litany of bewildering abbreviations.  However, Brett Payne and others, have taken the time to prepare a definitive alphabetical list of the majority of these abbreviations – additions coming forward through the CEF Study Group on a regular basis.  This information will be of use to both the neophyte and the seasoned Great War researcher. The list is available via the following link to the CEF Study Group Discussion Forum. [CEF Study Group – Sept 2020]
