[Second entry]
I'm a little perplexed on a close relatives war experience and I can't find the acronyms - i.e what they relate to. On that section it appears to be medal awards (lower down in the same section a group of Brigadiers have some decent awards that can be googled - MC's etc.
Me and my brother know little about his service. Bar two entries in an archive. We beleive he was in the Royal Artillery in WW1 before becoming a Pilot Cadet and being based at Ypres and another location but his WW2 experience is very difficult to pin point.
Any help much appreciated.

Training captain, presumably at a training establishment. attending CRE, Corps of Royal Engineers? SMD, Something Maintenance/Munitions/whatever Depot.
The rank might also be temporary captain, but I had thought that was more a WW1 thing rather than WW2 due to casualties.
