Is that an O or a C? He was a lieutenant so probably some menial dogsbody role, Gunnery Maintenance Officer or similar.

Perhaps a medical status?

If it is Gilbert Shoebridge you are researching he was Gazetted for the Military Cross 18/07/1940. Let me know and I can post some more details in the morning. Sorry just realised your man is the one below. I will have a dig.

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.
