Letter from A.C.C. Fraser, 8 January 1916

1 107 Company A.S.C. 9th Divisional Train B.E.F. France Sir, I take the liberty to write and ask if you
would be so kind as to send me a copy of the
result of the last competitive examination for
cadetship in the Royal Irish Constabulary
at which I qualified with 6th place. I am desirous of obtaining a commission
in the Regular army and think it would
be of advantage to me if I could produce a
certificate of having qualified for the
R.I.C. Thanking you in anticipation
I remain
your obedient servant. A.C.C. Fraser
Lieut A.S.C. 8/1/16

Letter from A.C.C. Fraser, received in the office of the chief secretary of Ireland. Fraser was a member of the 9th (Scottish) Divisions 'Divisional Train' and part of the British Expeditionary Force, originally sent to France at the outbreak of the war in 1914. The Divisional Train was responsible for transporting supplies and soldiers. He requests the results of the examination for cadetship in the Royal Irish Constabulary, the police force for the island of Ireland (excluding Dublin city), as he intended to gain a commission as an officer and felt it would be advantageous to his application.
