Hi Helen;

If you take a closer look at the above mentioned line on the Record of Service, the date in column (e) 'Date of Casualty' actually reads '16 Sept 44' - not 10 Sept 44. The date of '16 Sept 44' for his being SOS X4 List 10 Bn to 9 Fd Sqn RCE, is reflected again on his Statement of Service (Form M.F.M. 1 & 2 (a)) under the column 'Effective Date".

Also on the Record of Service, under column (d) 'Place of Casualty', the letters 'Fd' stand for the word 'Field'.

Cheers
