23rd Field Regiment, RCA, 83rd Artillery Division

[Cheryl England]

Thanks for the explanation of the "lanyard" - much appreciated.
How dumb of me - I forgot to put these 2 questions in my previous posting

1) In my dad's records it states he received after the war (April '46) a "Commander-in-Chief's Certificate" for "performing o/s good service and devotion to duty during NWE" ...was the C-I-C Certificate something all the men got after the war???

2) In his file it states he was thinking of joining the OCTU (Officer Cadet Training), but didn't go through with it. Was applying to the OCTU something one had to do to rise above nco rank, or
does it mean having a permanent job with the Army after the war?? Does anyone know?

Again thanks for your help on all my pesky questions.
