This is an 8th Army Christmas (1944) Airgraph sent by a Canadian serviceman to Pictou Canada .  Most of the senders details are clear and can be read as
F44744 L/Cpl C.C.Dalton 2 Cdn 

but then there is the unit designation which appears to be [u][b]Med Regt pl[/b][/u] ?? and then RCASC (Royal Canadian Army Service Corps). 

I have not be able to find out what that central part stands for.  Any ideas would be most welcome.

Sorry, I have no other information.

Thanks for that info.  I have had a chance to look round the web based on that and have enough for now to write it up.
