I would assume as he was RAOC and that he was corps troops on attachment, though there are no RAOC units listed as attached to them.


49 Reconnaissance Regiment, RAC
228, 229, 230, 294, 756, 757 Field Company, RE
231 & 289 Field Park Company, RE
23 Bridging Platoon, RE
49 Divisional Signals, RSC
69, 70, 71, 74, 79, 80, 143, 178, 185 Field Regiment, RA
55, 58, 88 Anti-Tank Regiment, RA
89, 118 Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, RA
2nd Battalion, The Kensington Regiment (M.G.)
49 Royal army Service Corps ( R.A.S.C )

I realise this is an old thread but 49th (West Riding) Divisional Ordnance Field Park, Royal Army Ordnance Corps were part of the 49th Division during WW2 .

thank you. strange that you have brought this to the top.
My mate helped to clear the whole house out the other week and has found paper work which he has kept for me. unfortunately his medals must have went to the tip when the attic was cleared with what ever else. Easy to replace though.
so hopefully i will find out more and keep it with the jacket.
thanks

Nice one. Your looks a lot better condition than mine.
I did find out his name. The only thing that i was told was that he was nearly left behind in Norway. Don't know if there's any truth to this. I've never really research where different parts of the British army were sent. Perhaps when i get the paper work. it will give me something else to research.
