Many thanks indeed
Never come across ack emma but knew it really had to be the leftover letters from matchmaker

kettledrum

old-fashioned army(?) signallers' slang for a.m. pip emma for p.m.

it's "sift" ("shift" with "h" removed)

dundurn

It's Signals code from the time of WW1 - so ack ack = AA = anti aircraft, PM was Pip Emma, a despatch rider = DR was usually referred to as a Don R and Talbot House the charity started near Ypres in WW1 was ( and still is) called Toc H - there must be a full list somewhere but because it was superseded by systems such as Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog (US) and Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta (International) it's largely forgotten apart from crosswords and Lord Peter Wimsey novels.

kettledrum

Thanks for the full explanation, Dundurn. It's nice to have my memory refreshed!
