Sometimes I have trouble reading military gravestones. They oftentimes contain acronyms (or abbreviations, whichever is the correct term) that I just cannot figure out. Here's one from Magnolia Park Cemetery ; Warner Robins, Houston County, Georgia I found especially difficult to decipher: Robert C. Countryman Georgia Pvt 6 GP MTD MG TNG CEN World War I Jan 6, 1892 - Aug 30, 1953 The only thing I thought I had was "training center" at the end of line three. I turned to my retired Air Force father for help (thanks, Dad). Here's what he came up with: "From my Army friends: Pvt = Private GP = MTD = Motor Transport Corps Division MG = Machine Gun TNG CEN = Training Center Don't know about the GP. It doesn't seem to fit but is related to the 6 which is for 6th Army. Could be general purpose." Anyone else have a go-to resource for better understanding the abbreviations on military gravestones?
