Army Form C.2120 - Telephone Message.  The telephone equivalent of the familiar C.2121 Message & Signals form.

AF C2120 (included to increase search hits)

 

Found in 33rd Division HQ war diary.

 

Also this improvised version, which does not have an AF number, but was clearly used for the same purpose.

Andy's turned up another interesting form in another thread.

 

Army Form W.3459 - Visits of Relatives to Sick & Wounded Soldiers in France

[this bit is added to increase the chances of this form showing up in search hits: AF W3459 W/3459]

Thought I had solved the mystery, but alas no..

 

Got excited when I found this... Army Form W.3659 (not 3695 perhaps a typo on the document?) Is the form for an Absentee Rejoining his unit.  See below.

Another unusual form uncovered in a service record, this particular chap, originally in the MMGS in 20th (Light) Division, but compulsorily transferred to the Manchesters, had been a boilermaker (and then a policeman) in civvy street.  After a Blighty wound in the thigh, and some time on light duties at Home, he was discharged with a SWB and this job in a Middlesbrough shipbuilders ...

 

Army Form W.3916 - Release of Soldier for Shipbuilding in three parts A, B and C, but Part C (Voucher for presentation by the soldier at the Discharge Centre) from this set is missing

Hi,

 

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I’ve just become aware that Australian Archives have some complete Court Martial files available online.

 

Each contain a variety of Army Forms - this one has a couple of Magistrates Guidance forms for Absentees/Deserters the second of which is completed with a recommendation for a reward for the Police Officer who arrested the soldier.

 

https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=7222215

 

There is also a completed “handover” schedule used by the Sergeant of the Guardroom - from which the soldier escaped - that I’ve never seen before.

Hi, I am seeking a copy of SS 400, Instructions to ASC MT drivers on the Western Front. This document was to be kept in all Mechanical Transport vehicles and was issued from 1916. I have searched all the lists I can find to no avail. Does anyone have a copy please ?

I've posted a couple of examples of form SD 622 which was the confidential report on cadets passing out of (or failing) officer cadet battalions (OCBs).

An excellent thread :-) which seems very worthy of being bumped up the list again by another form

This thread has been a real goldmine! I was wondering if any of you good folk could help. I'm searching for an original copy of Army Form W 3405 Trench Stores. Does anyone have an example they could share?

Hi folks,

I'm working on recreations for some documents, primarily message forms such as C.2120 through to C.2128. I'm making them in pads as noted on the documents themselves.

There is some evidence that such pads had covers with instructions in their use, such as those below from A.B. 153 and A.F. C.2121. as the pads will be part of a radio display, I would like to get the covers as least reasonably correct. There is plenty of imagery of the forms themselves, but I'm striking out on what the forms pads looked like when new and unused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Not sure I've seen one of these before - Attestation Form front page AF B217 "Adapted"

"For Period of German War and Six Months after if Required"

It seems to have been in use by South African units.

I'm including two forms.

W 3034. Nominal Roll of Sick & Wounded of the BEF Admitted, Discharged, Transferred or died. Sourced from National Archives Australia.

3034_2.jpg.7f3a183eac5ef046a2faf7c715ca2b68.jpg

 

Secondly, Army Form A 36. Sourced form National Archives UK.

A36_3.jpg.854e806e9a57d5d6c90a50eb7102840e.jpg

 

Thirdly, an example B103 to show how the entries were made from the two forms. NB the header title for the Remarks column uses the A 36 as an example of where the information has come from. I'm not convinced that a records office received a copy of the A 36 or W 3034.

B103_A36_30342.jpg.1c06b3d95d268ccabf81a8482f255706.jpg

I've looked through quite a few B103 forms and it seems that the 3034 was used by hospitals and the A36 used by other medical units, CCS & FA mainly. What ends up as the source of information on a B103 could well depend on the established procedure at any given unit's record office.

Thanks TEW.  That's most interesting. 

On that B103, the entry dated 21 Jan 1917 quotes both W3034 and H.A.6152.  Would you think that this refers to two different  documentary sources with consistent information that are being quoted, or one document bearing both numbers?

Difficult to say with certainty. There seems to be a lot of variation.

I'd suspect the entry on HA 6152 for this man stems from his entry on the W3034. I still doubt copies of the W3034 were also sent to records offices, there would be recycled scraps turning up?

It does state that the W3034 was to be sent to C2 casuslties WO who are the ones that then create HA6152 (as far as I know) for each office.

They must have known the HA list was generated from a W3034 but it seems superfluous to have both references.

Later on there are single refs to a W3034 and another to an HA list.

All a work in progress I think!
