Hi
I'm researching my father in laws naval history. On his records in 1941 his rating says A/PO (TY). I am assuming this stands for Acting Petty Officer - can anyone please tell me what (TY) stands for?

On another note does anyone know anything at all about HMS Baldur Mythcett Camp 1943. I know Baldur was the accounting base in Iceland at the time but I can find no further information or photos etc.

Thanks in anticipation

A/PO (TY) = Acting Petty Officer (Temporary)

HMS Baldur was the North of Scotland Orkney & Shetland Steam Navigation Co (phew!" passenger cargo ship St Clair. She was requisitioned as abas ship and later as a convoy ocean rescue ship. See my painting of her.

Thank you for information - please can you tell me what is an abas ship?

Suspect it's a typo for "a base ship".

When I was in the army (many moons ago) Mytchett camp was
an army camp at Ash Vale, Aldershot.
