Dear WIXer's
Finally received the RAF service records for a missing British pilot that crashed in S. Quebec in Hurricane 5426. Long story but the PMS finally sent them to me! Currently trying to make sense of some of this jarjon that appears in Sgt. H.K. Green service history. Can any help a rather fustrated researcher in finding out what the RAF mumbo-jumbo means????

His past history reads as follows:

Oxford Reserve July 3, 1941
1 A.C.R.C November 1, 1941
A.C.D.W. January 3, 1942
9 I.T.W. January 21, 1942
51 Group Pool May 20, 1942
A.C.D.C. June 17, 1942
31 R.A.F. P.D. July 11, 1942
No. 35 EFTS September 9, 1942
Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. (Tiger Moth)
No. 34 SFTS November 21, 1942
Medicine Hat, Alberta. (Oxford, Harvard)
No. 1 (F) OTU ? Bagotville April 2, 1943
Fighter training - Hawker Hurricane
Missing and believed killed May 12, 1943
Killed in action May 12, 1943

Can make no sense of his history from July 3, 1941 to july 11, 1942.

Can anyone help???


Thanks
