Remembered Today:

MATTHEW McGOONA ASC


Ken Devitt

Recommended Posts

I was checking the MIC of Matthew McGoona (unusual name) who was the grandfather of an old friend of mine and found that he served as a driver with the Army Service Corps.

Could anyone explain what the initials preceeding the numbers mean and why they would have changed.

TS/5473 T/10928 (Royal Army Ordnance Corps 020360) and back to ET/58836

Appreciate the help,

Ken

Hi Ken,

Sorry don't have much for you. TS/5473 = Old Army Transport Specials [Trades][own series of numbers before 1915]:

Drivers

Saddlers

Wheelers

Farriers

Shoeing Smiths

Also used by Remounts.

My reference gives 'T' as Royal Army Ordnance Corps.

Regards

Arthur
