andyspiller Posted 22 August , 2004 Share Posted 22 August , 2004 Pals I have located a small notebook that my grandfather had with him during the war. In it he lists his brother's address as L Coy, RE Signals A.P.O. S1, BEF. Can anybody shed any light on this unit or location? Up til now all I have known is that this brother was transferred from 1st Bn GG on 31st August 1916 to the RE and then held the rank of Pioneer. Many thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyspiller Posted 15 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 15 September , 2004 Pals Further digging has produced a letter from my great-uncle to my grandfather where he states that he is 9698 L Corps Military Foot Police. He appears to have retained his GG number but transferred to the MFP. Did the MFP have units attached to things such as Signals units or did they have their own MFP sections. As I have a copy of his transfer from the GG to the RE - I am now really confused. Can anyone help. Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 15 September , 2004 Share Posted 15 September , 2004 Andy Your postmark was used by AP0 S1 at Abbeville and was in use there from December 1915 to December 1919. L Coy , may refer to "L" Corps Signal Coy, part of X1 Corps. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyspiller Posted 16 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 16 September , 2004 Terry Thanks for the reply. Do you have any ideas about the MFP query? Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 16 September , 2004 Share Posted 16 September , 2004 Andy I can't comment on the MFP., but any changes in his Regt/Corps should be annotated on his MIC and subsequently the medal roll. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyspiller Posted 16 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 16 September , 2004 Terry Problem is, is that the MIC goes straight from GG to RE. No mention of the MFP . The MFP connection was only been found out last weekend with the letter. Is there anybody that may be able to help? Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
