    This is my Grandpa's final pay voucher and I would appreciate any help in trying to understand what it means.

    I think the ASF is Army Services Force
    The CO - Commanding Officer ??

    AR615-365 RRI-I General Demobilization ???

    As for anything else I'm not sure. The bit that interests me the most is
    ASF-F W 28 CO

    But any other help would be graciously excepted.

    Thankyou

    David

    I am sorry I cannot help you, but I will be very interested to see what everything means. I should be getting some of my Grandpas paperwork any day now in the mail. So I will be here asking these questions as well. Good Luck

    David, this is not your grandfather's discharge papers, it's his final pay voucher. The form number on his separation papers will be AGO 53-55, they didn't use DD-214 until the 50's. Can't help with the ASF acronyn but the AR 615-365 is indeed demobilization.
    His discharge/separation papers will give a ton more information, and lots of us can help you with that.

    Thankyou for the quick turn around, sorry for the wrong information I provided. Discharge papers for my grandpa got burnt in the archives during the fire they had in the 70's and this is the one and only record they had.

    Information I do know is he was born in Scotland in 1922 and died in the U.S in 2004

    He was billeted in Tuxford Camp, Nottinghamshire, England in 1944 which according to records was a militia training facility (which I'm not entirely sure of the meaning)

    Does anyone know of any instances of British troops transferring to America Forces or vice-versa ????

    Once more thanks for the invaluable assistance so far.

    Thankyou for looking but we have access to ancestry which provided the same information.
