Chris_Baker Posted 28 June , 2023 Share Posted 28 June , 2023 Can anyone please enlighten me as to what this (presumably) acronym DFS indicates? It;s a new one on me. The man whose AIR79 record is this from was an aircraft rigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted 28 June , 2023 Share Posted 28 June , 2023 (edited) Just a thought, as a rigger , would it be Daily Flight Servicing which I believe is still used ? Stupid me, didn’t bother to look at extract referring to medals Edited 28 June , 2023 by Knotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 28 June , 2023 Author Share Posted 28 June , 2023 It could, at a push, relate to the 1921 Defence Force, but why mention that alongside his campaign medals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB1943 Posted 28 June , 2023 Share Posted 28 June , 2023 Can I suggest that it is D E S, noting the E in R E C ? D E S= destroyed ???? Regards, JMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsk212 Posted 28 June , 2023 Share Posted 28 June , 2023 (edited) Hi I think it is just a badly written and shortened version of RECD & DESP or Received & despatched :- Steve Edited 28 June , 2023 by hmsk212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 29 June , 2023 Author Share Posted 29 June , 2023 (edited) Good thinking. Obvious when you look again. Thank you. That clerk sure had a strange way of writing a capital E. Edited 29 June , 2023 by Chris_Baker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
