    Hello,

    Does anyone know the meaning of the abbreviation OLRIG?

    It's possibly something to do the the soldier's civilian profession as an art teacher going by the scan below.

    Good Morning Tony.......

    That is the name of a town in that section of the form, the title area is missing......

    Olrig is a parish in Caithness, Scotland and the main settlement in the parish is Castletown.....

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    Thanks very much for that Mike. The other surviving pages of his record all say Edinburgh, Caithness and googling it didn't turn up anything either.

    Googling it again turned up Parish, Station and Caithness so I wonder what went wrong the first time I did it.

    Thanks again.

    Tony
