christine liava'a Posted 14 January , 2004 Posted 14 January , 2004 I have a Charles Thurman AFEC in the Australian forces There is Charles George Richard Thurman 4th Field Ambulance in the Nominal roll. What does AFEC stand for?
Andrew P Posted 14 January , 2004 Posted 14 January , 2004 Hi Christine My first reaction is that it could stand for Australian Field Engineer Company, though they are usually shown on the nominal roll as FCE. Cheers Andrew
Blackblue Posted 14 January , 2004 Posted 14 January , 2004 You sure it isn't AAMC - Australian Army Medical Corps? There is a photo of Pte THURMAN in in the Collection Database on the AWM site.
