Попалась такая аббревиатура:

649 SAP. W. LONGMUIR. 1/1 N. MID. F.C.R.E.T.F.

 

Прошу помощи в расшифровке reading_help.gif

Большое спасибо!

Но ... sorry, а что есть:

1/1st North Midland Field Company

В смысле, что это за подразделение?

Подробнее, если можно ... rolleyes.gif

И, вроде, этой аббревиатуры нет в приведенном списке blink.gif

649 САПЁР W. LONGMUIR. 1/1st North Midland Field Company, Royal Engineers, Territorial Force.

 

1/1st (North Midland) Field Company TF входила в состав The 28th Division с декабря 1914 по апрель 1915(участвовала во взятии Высоты 60 в сражении на Ипре с 17 по 22 апреля 1915 года)

http://www.1914-1918.net/28div.htm

,затем вошла в состав The 46th (North Midland) Division(в её составе несла службу на Сомме(июль-ноябрь 1916 г.))

http://www.1914-1918.net/46div.htm

в феврале 1917 г. переименована в 465th Territorial Field Company.

 

А на какой награде аббревиатура?Трио за ПМВ?

 

Извините,время истекло,поэтому пришлось удалиться,добавить и написать по новой. drinks_cheers.gif

В вашем варианте почти всё было понятно, но по-частям.Когда части сложились в целое-получилась расшифровка.

Ещё раз спасибо за разъяснения drinks_cheers.gif

А как бы, по-русски, ближе к смыслу(!!!), перевести это:

1/1st North Midland Field Company

Я в английском полный лох unsure.gif

1-я полурота 1-й Северо Мидландской сапёрной роты (территориальных сил),Королевские Инженеры.

Полурота(обычно два взвода)-военная единица в сапёрных частях.

Территориально North Midland -это северная часть центральных графств Англии от Leeds до Derby.

Отлично!

Меня, как не сведущего в специфике структуры британской армии, смутила формулировка "Field Company".

Значит, это была ОТДЕЛЬНАЯ рота (1/1) с собственным (территориальным) названием?

Её "особенность" заключается только в "местности формирования"?

Предполагаю, что начинаю задавать уж слишком глупые вопросы ... unsure.gif smile.gif

 

Ну вот ... опять ответ опережает вопрос biggrin.gif drinks_cheers.gif

А у меня такой приборчик к компьютеру подключен-позволяет читать мысли собеседника. spiteful.gif

Никаких особенностей.Field Company-это просто сапёрная рота.В британской армии в мирное время всегда были и есть регулярные части и территориальные силы(вспомогательные части и резервисты).Эти территориальные силы формируются по территориальному признаку,т.е. по месту нахождения резервистов(только Россия-единственная в мире страна бескомпромиссно придерживающаяся принципа экстерриториальности воинской службы).В случае начала войны из этих резервистов формируют боевые подразделения(в том числе и инженерные) и направляют воевать вместе с регулярными частями..

Здравствуйте, Демосфен!

Добро пожаловать на форум!

Это медаль ремесленника Ричардса или Осмонда?
