AB64 Pt1

I found this receipt inside the Permanent Pass book shown in the post below.


(Click on the photo to enlarge. High resolution versions are available)

It states:

This to certify that No 22149561 Rank TPR Name Fry AB 64 Pt I. is held in the Sqadron Office, for documentation.

It is signed by OC "HQ" Sqn. 20 Armd Bde.

The date stanp states:

H. Q. SQUADRON
20th ARMOURED BRIGADE
10 APR 1951


After a search on Google I have found one other reference to a AB64 Pt.1 which appears to be a Soldiers Service Book.

An AB64 pt 1 was a soldiers pay book and documentation. It was normally carried in the top right breast pocket of uniform. It doubled as ID when called for.

They was a pt 2, which was smaller, and with less information...This was carried on active service, when the pt 1 was in admin hands

OC is officer commanding and HQ coy (sqn) is the admin company of a unit
