On the 14/1/1916 was awarded, by the OC 12th DAP, 'Deprived of two days pay' for 'Disobedience of GRO 1032. The offence listed in his service record as taking place on the 23/12/1915 'in the field'. Further remarks on service record, final column read, B2069 d/1 1 16 Pii 4/16 Do these abbreviations mean anything to anybody? Thank you for reading.

quemerford Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March The abbreviations usually refer to the Order in which the event was promulgated: in this case, B.2069 dated 1 January 1916; Part II 4/16; presumably the fourth order of the year. GRO should be [General?] Routine Order or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
