Notes and references abbreviation help

[charlie2]

I‘m obviously not the brightest pixie in the garden, can anyone help with the abbreviation S.S. - numbers 27 and 35 on the attached.

Thanks

Charlie

Cannot find the citations on TNA 

 "Op cit" means "the work cited" so will refer to the earlier reference. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op._cit.

 

S.S. might mean "sub section"?

This might be relevant to 32/5098 https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C2546306

Hi Charlie

Just having a read and not trying to “show off” but this has come up on the Forum before,see below 

Plenty of info. about, so I have checked through and come up with this:- a link to the SS 457 Formation of Prisoner of War Companies. Orders and Instructions. [Sep 1916, Feb 1917 and Feb 1918 versions of pamphlet], held by the AWM, and given the reference “AWM27 424/8 - [Treatment of Prisoners of War:] Formation of (German) Prisoners of War Companies - Orders and instructions (Feb 1917)”

https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C2798135

The pamphlet is dated 1 Feb 1918😁
