isanders Posted 27 April , 2008 Share Posted 27 April , 2008 I found this in an old family autograph album. The Walsbys were part of my family and all lived in the Mile End area of London's East End. Although most units I can identify, can anyone help with Albert James Walsby (ASG?)and Arthur Samuel Walsby's units (DG?) I'm presuming the rest of them were friends, and know that the 1st name Benjamin Matthew Smalley was a pow and later married one of the Walsby sisters.

Ken Lees Posted 27 April , 2008 Share Posted 27 April , 2008 A.S.G. is probably A.S.C. = Army Service Corps There was an Albert J Walsby, Sgt MS/3441 Army Service Corps. His Medal Index Card can be found here: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...;resultcount=22 D.G. = Dragoon Guards? But doesn't it say A.D.C.? I'm not sure what that stands for though. For a list of Walsbys who were entitled to great War medals look here: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...Spec=score+desc Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 27 April , 2008 Share Posted 27 April , 2008 Perhaps A.O.C. = Army Ordnance Corps. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Lees Posted 27 April , 2008 Share Posted 27 April , 2008 Doh! Of course it's AOC - I can see it now. I was distracted by spotting the 'A' and failed to look again at the 'D'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
