Tony Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hello,Can anyone help me out with a unit ID? The unit is NMDTASC and I have no idea what that is but I'm guessing at North Midland Division Territorial Army Service Corps, something I've never actually heard of and don't even know if they existed.Any guesses, can anyone confirm my guess or do some of you actually know?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Bates Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) Hello Tony,you could very well be right. Check out http://www.1914-1918.net/46div.htm "46th Divisional Train ASC (redesignated from the North Midland Divisional Train - itself made from the North Midland Transport and Supply Column. Composed of 451, 452, 453 and 454 Companies ASC)"Also check out http://www.1914-1918.net/asc.htmStuart Edited November 8, 2006 by Stuart Bates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hello Stuart,I must admit I was hoping it was something a little more exotic, I only guessed North Midland because I have a medal group to a member of the 3/2 N. Midland Field Ambulance.I just can't find any details about this NMDTASC man at the National Archives online which is very annoying. I do have the book 'Wait for the Waggon' so will have to dig it out and see if I can find anything else.ThanksTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks again everyone but, why can't I find his MIC at the PRO/National Archives site?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 What are his details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 What are his details?Leigh, I must have somehow missed your post all those months ago, here are the details I have:1106 A R Bailey; not a lot to go on is there.I only have his ID disc which doesn?t give his rank but shows his unit as mentioned above - NMDT ASC. I couldn?t find him on Soldiers Died or the CWGC site either so, presumably he survived.CheersTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh kitchen Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Baffled, the only 1106 A Bailey I found was Cape Coloured Labour Bn or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Baffled, the only 1106 A Bailey I found was Cape Coloured Labour Bn or similar.It would be nice to find out that he spent some time attached to the ASC while up in the Midlands on holiday from the Cape Coloured Labour Bn.

Graham Stewart Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Tony,If your man A.R. Bailey was serving in a second line Territorial Force, A.S.C. unit then there is a good chance he may not have served overseas and therefore wouldn't have a Medal Index Card. Had he gone overseas with a first line unit he would have had two numbers on his MIC, one being '1106' and then a new number issued to all Territorial Force personnel as of 1917.Graham.
