Tpr. Geoffrey John Ashforth
British Army Royal Armoured Corps
from:Lincoln
I have recently acquired my father's military records, Geoffrey Ashforth. I knew he was a paratrooper as I have a photograph of him in uniform. However, I didn't know that he was in the R.A.C.
His records state that he was "transferred to R.A.C. S.O.S. wef 12/10/43. (Authority:- ACI 952/42 and O I/c RAC Records Admin A.2/9778/ of 29/11/43)
If anyone can tell me what the S.O.S. refers to, or means, I'd be most grateful.
All I can think that it stands for is Special Operations Squadron. If it does mean that, what did it do?
