World War II's Army Eng Fire Fighting Platoons
#23

I found a couple mentions of the platoon in the records of the Southern Base Section in England. The first mention is the platoon being added to the troop list dated 17 February 1944. The APO given for them is 582, which was Tilshead, England. the X4 probably denotes a district within the base section.

The 2nd mention is a similar addition to the troop list dtd 29 February 1944 ( probaly a move ), APO given is 511, which was Tauton , Eng.

From another website the platoon was stationed at Wrangaton, Eng as of 31 March 1944, and as of 30 June 1944.

They were at Martock, Eng. as of 31 August 1944.

So it seems to me they followed the path of movement of the Seine Section ( APO 887 ) from England to Paris in Sept. 1944.

( Eng. > Valongnes > Paris )
