Michael Pegum Posted 14 August , 2021 Share Posted 14 August , 2021 A WW I roll of honour in St. Peter’s Church, Bandon, Co. Cork, has the names of 14 women who served in various services. Of these, V.A.D. and Q.M.W.A.A.C. (a confusion of the titles of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps and Queen Mary’s Army Auxiliary Corps) I know, but can anyone explain M. of P., M.W. and M. of M.? (C.Derg may mean Castlederg, a town in Co. Antrim, but I don’t think that helps.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 14 August , 2021 Share Posted 14 August , 2021 My guesses- M of P = Ministry of Pensions MW = Military Works M of M (C Dept) = Ministry of Munitions (Clerical Dept) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Pegum Posted 15 August , 2021 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2021 Many thanks. I had misread 'C.Dept'. These answers are very convincing, and I will incorporate them on the website. Once again, the Forum has proved its worth. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
