My father served with the 66 artisan works company RE. Reading through his service record I came across some confusing entries. Entry 1 "passed TT and reclfd pnr RE gp D II handyman trade carp & joiner gp B Date -- 1/8/44 Place-- UK. Entry2 Embarked on the 17/6/44 for NWE The handwriting is clearly readable for a change. Beside the dates being out of sequnce, why would they send someone back to the UK to attend a trade course? I suppose the date 1/8/44 could be wrong. But I can also picture The CSM saying, "This is the british army boy! pack your kit and don't be late back! Regards Jim
