Re: Lords Cricket Ground
Danny, you are correct to say that the ACRC, Regents Park, which included the requisitioned parts of Lords Cricket Ground, was a reception centre where recruits were kitted out, medically examined and introduced to the ways of service life.
I am guessing that the "battle training" references relate to his time at ITW.
One other point that I noted was that the "wash out" trades are listed as Navigator or Air Gunner. I am wondering if that should read "Air Bomber"
