    1. Hi, jumping Can anyone tell me if women, served in the RASC, during WW2. I`d also be interested to know, which unit of the RASC served in Corngreaves Hall, Cradley Heath, Staffs in 1940. If anyone can help, I`d really like to hear from you. Gordon. jumping
    2. Smashing thank you very much indeed, I found her on the CWGC site, I hadn`t thought of looking there!!!!! Many many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    3. Thank you very much for your reply, it answered my question, however, it has caused more!!! I do not know if Beville, served as a full time Officer, I have writen to Kent Police, but as yet have not received a reply. I know Beville was a Special in 1926, and a War Reserve, 1940 to 44, his LSGC has GVR E type profile. Any idea when this profile was issued from?
    4. Yes please that would be smashing, thank you. jumping
    5. Hi, Can anyone suggest anywhere were I might be able to confirm details, in relation to Civilian loses to air raids. I`m trying to find out more about a lady who was killed during one in Westerham in 1940. Her name was V T Beville (nee Russell). Any suggestions?
    6. Hi, Can anyone tell me when the GVR "C" type LSGC was issued? Also the "E" Type?
    7. Hi, I`d very much like to hear from anyone who can explain to me, the differance between, a Special Constable and a War Reserve Constable. I have a LSGC Special Constable Medal to an Officer who served 40 years in the Kent Constabulary, the paperwork with this medal includes two certificates one to Special Constable Beville for his work/volunteering for duties during the 1926 General Strike, and another for his services as a War Reserve Constable 1940-1944. His obituary states that he served for 40 years!!! I take it that War Reserve, like Specials were unpaid, am I right. Do War Reserve Offciers get the same LSGC as a Special?
    8. Hi, I was lucky enough to buy the medal mentioned via ebay, from Nick, who is involved in this website. I`m really looking forward to starting to research the guy killed, if anyone has any information which maybe of interest, i`d really like to hear from you. Gordon.
    9. Hi, I have a Special Constables LSGC, to Geoffrey Mccartney Beville, who served in the Kent Constabulary, for 40 years, from it appears 1904 to 1944. I`m in the process of researching him, so far its proved very interesting. Gordon.
