ebyrne Posted 2 December , 2022 Share Posted 2 December , 2022 Hello, A great-grand uncle of mine served as a rigger in the RAF at the tail end of the war, and in the post war period. Family legend says he spent time in Mesopotamia. I have found his movement records, and the last line of them is intriguing as a lead, if anyone could help me shed light on it, it would be much appreciated.

charlie2 Posted 5 December , 2022 Share Posted 5 December , 2022 Rather than BEF ME I read BEF (In E. I take the E to be short for Egypt. I know it is normally referred to as the EEF but perhaps the clerk didn‘t. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
