Could AEC be 'Associated Equipment Company' in context? Producers of the Matador, and other pleasing vehicles.
Though in the main Abbreviations thread, here, it's listed as 'Army education Corps' - Do either of those fit?

(On reflection, I've merged your query into the main thread LJ, hope that's OK)

AEC = Assessments+Evaluation Centre or Army Education Corps.

AMPC = Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps.

This is basically a rough guide for STAB'ers, since they (according to prejudice) are memorizing abbreviations.

Rob Dickers thank you for the information;were they the auxiliary of the Roal Engineers ? From my paper they formed part of the BEF (maybe the "training "divisions )and they lost 44 officers and 5529 other ranks .(I forgot ,"they" = AMPC )

Can anyone help with the following abbreviations that i've found in my fathers certificate of service, Army Book 64 Part 1 & Class A Release Book.

He served in the Royal Artillary from 16.6.39 until 9.6.46

AALMS course
DM Test
Water Duties Course (what would this cover?)

Transfer to the AAC During 1943 - Can anyone elaborate?

Finally Transfer to RA (FLI)

Any help would be highly appreciated

With ref to :

Water Duties Course (what would this cover?)

I would hazard a guess that this course dealt with the treating of drinking water, i.e. chlorination etc, to make it fit for drinking.

Most front line units had their own water carts, in simple terms a water tank, usually on a 15cwt chassis, that could bring regular supplies of water to the troops.

Can't help with the others although the AA prefix might refer to Anti-Aircraft

Good luck with your research !

AALMS course Are you sure it isn't a G not an S, as AALMG is Anti-Aircraft Light Machine Gun.

DM could be Driver Mechanic, one of the classes of Driver in the Royal Artillery. The qualification stood higher than Driver Internal Combustion and infered a working knowledge of motor mechanics.

AAC well it could be Army Air Corps, not sure when the title was introduced, I believe however it was post WW2.
