Thanks MarieCeleste, Must be him, they always lost a year or two. Sounds as if this might be application for Police Force.

Hi Sylvia, the Civil Engineer bit is easy enough, but I can't decipher on the original what the "O serving" is meant to be - I'm not even convinced that is what it says.

Many thanks, We have a Policeman in the family, interesting. Appreciate your help.
Anybody know what the Civel Engineer O serving can be..
