note sure which one i should be looking at of these scans, my grandfathers unit had 1 officer and 24 (at its peak) ordinary ratings. can anyone point me in the direction of what one i should be reading?
one ive been researching from day one andy but not sure if i should be reading the diluted north africa or the middle east one :S
This one is for Africa: WO 169/12580 19 Port Workshop 1943 July- Dec. These are for Italy: WO 170/3044 Port Workshops: 19 Workshop 1944 Jan.- Dec. WO 170/6556 Port Workshops: 19 Workshop 1945 Jan.- Dec. WO 170/8729 Workshops: 19 Port Workshop 1946 Jan.
Yeah I already have then drew, I'm trying to figure out what made up the detachment as in tradesmen etc
If the Port Workshop was in Italy - wouldn't there be other documentation for Italy detailing the workshop's requirements?
I meant the dilution of staff documents. As they have been issued for port workshops in Africa and the Midle East, I was querying the idea of there being a dilution document for port workshops in Italy. Was 19 P/W in the M.E? It just seemed you would look at the document relevant to the location, which - if in Italy - may have more relevant info. Perhaps I have misunderstood your initial question though.
