Abbreviation 'do' or 'ds' on service records
« on: 18 August 2024 03:46:41 pm »

Researching my great grandfather's service record (service number 17650) I can see in the 'Name of Division or Ship.' column in multiple places the abbreviation 'do.' or possibly 'ds.'. It appears very regularly. He was a Royal Marine between 1912 and 1924. Can anyone explain this abbreviation to me?
