Does anyone know of a means of "decoding" the abbreviations on records of service for the army in WW1? examples being "To the Field", "Field", "PUC", "B213", "ED 3913"
Thanks

It appears that the numbers are other forms. So that part solved.

Looks like the rest means in the trenches and all that went with that!!!!!
