Errol Martyn Posted 29 July , 2021 Share Posted 29 July , 2021 Has anyone come across this unit before? It is noted on a Medical Board on a WO339 file as the posting for a Lieutenant F. Green c. Aug - Oct 1918. Probably based in France? TIA, Errol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERITAGE PLUS Posted 29 July , 2021 Share Posted 29 July , 2021 Errol I can't help with regards to this specific detachment but you will find background on such detachments here: https://books.google.ie/books?id=TIIcCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT96&lpg=PT96&dq=RAF+TENT+DETACHMENTS&source=bl&ots=6D4U6jmPm2&sig=ACfU3U2042Jiy_g958AqWTpO-EOn8eCghg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZi-P3l4jyAhUGTxUIHeriAC0Q6AEwEHoECBgQAw#v=onepage&q=RAF%20TENT%20DETACHMENTS&f=false See also this previous thread: https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/269255-raf-26th-tent-detachment-1919/ Hope this helps.

mickdavis Posted 29 July , 2021 Share Posted 29 July , 2021 I have a list 'Location of Royal Air Force Units' for 11 January 1919 which gives 6 TD as being at Clermont, under 5 Brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Martyn Posted 30 July , 2021 Author Share Posted 30 July , 2021 Many thanks Dave and Mick. Dave, I have 'Bridge to Airpower' but tent detachments do not appear in the the index. Any idea as to what the page numbers are for the first piece of (divided) text that you refernced? Cheers, Errol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERITAGE PLUS Posted 30 July , 2021 Share Posted 30 July , 2021 Errol There are no page numbers on the e-book that I referenced. Tent Detatchments are mentioned in Chapter 6 (Logistics on the move) and in Appendix B. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were under the direct management of aircraft depots. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Martyn Posted 30 July , 2021 Author Share Posted 30 July , 2021 Many thanks Mike. I see now that the first part of the first quote appears on page 113 and the second part, as you mention, on page 114. So, good to have that sorted and be able to move on to other inten(t)sive research. Cheers, Errol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
