Just wondering if anyone can assist? ....
Just received my Grandfather's service records and one of the entries states
"X215/44 ... Which I assume is the order number!?
"47 Commando" .... Unit
"Wounded in action. SW Back & Buttock 09/08/44" ... His injury! Does anyone know what the SW stands for?


Then the second query entry is ...
"216/44" ... Order number?!
"47 Commando" ... Unit
"To X-11 list (W)" .... What does this mean??

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi

X Lists are explained here by Geoff Murray

http://www.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/list/990.page

The X-11 list(W) - wounded

The service record column with the X215/44 is headed on my father's record as "No. of Part 11/Order or other authority" although this is Army records and yours will be Navy if RM Commando

SW may be Sustained Wound

I edit the CVA galleries so if you have any photos of your Grandfather please email me (address below)

Regards

Pete

Thank you Pete!

I have "digitised" all my Grandfathers records this morning and have uploaded the one that is the most confusing in the hope that knowledgable members on this forum can decipher it for me!?

I had to chuckle at the October 23rd 1943 and the 21st November 1943 entries!

The link to the record is here .... https://viewer.zoho.com/docs/jzTaD
