    Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment - it’s been incredibly helpful.
    I’ve attached what appear to be my GF’s relevant service records. Apologies that some of them are yellow - they were photocopied onto coloured paper for some reason.
    I think I may have misled you regarding the ‘articifer iii’ training - that took place in 1939 so was perhaps more relevant to his work with 62nd S/L Regt. rather than his time in NWE.

    Sheldrake All over the place....

    So he was a storeman/driver who became a signaler.
    Looking at the CO's signature is it C H Gosling? If so he was BC 511 battery in Normandy and had a good war. This is the citation for his MC
    I have posted this because it illustrates what people at the sharp end got up to. Major Gosling wasn't there on his own his vehicle had a driver and signallers who shared the risk but only received reflected credit.

    In think you can be proud that your grandfather was considered to be steady reliable and conscientious.

    Sheldrake, yes the name does look like CH Gosling.
    I can’t thank you (and the other contributors on this thread) enough. As a novice it’s difficult to know what to read, who to ask, where to go - but I now have direction.
    Regards & many thanks.
