Alibear27 Posted 6 September , 2005 Share Posted 6 September , 2005 On my Graet Uncle's service record it has the above under the Unit of HM Forces. Please can someone tell me what this means? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 6 September , 2005 Share Posted 6 September , 2005 Don't really know, but if the D is actually a 0, is 550 Agricultural Company, Lines of Communications a possibility? I seem to recall hearing somewhere that men were used to help get the crops in, and so on, at the necessary times. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Stewart Posted 6 September , 2005 Share Posted 6 September , 2005 Alibear, The 550th Agricultral Coy,L.C. probably didn't serve with the British Armies in France, as only seven Agricultral Company's are listed in the Order of Battle for 1918. It is possible that it was a "Home" unit and didn't serve overseas at all. The units serving in France in 1918 were;- 996th A.C.,L.C. - Lines of Communication. 1037th A.C.,L.C. - 1st Army. 1038th A.C.,L.C. - 2nd Army. 1039th A.C.,L.C. - 3rd Army. 1040th A.C.,L.C. - 5th Army. 1041st A.C.,L.C. - 4th Army. 1042nd A.C.,L.C. - 4th Army.
