I wondered if there was a prefix to that?

I know some forces used a prefix either Commissioned/Non-Commissioned, male/female, or simply to distinguish the service, although often not always used within the country if it is obvious what the service or gender is.
Hi

Checked up on her Attestation Number (Block Numbers) and it indicates she was allocated to a rather unusual unit : Aircraft Artillery Depot S.A.T.S. ( South African Training School?) Artisan SAAF.
I have never heard of these guys, new one for me!

But definitely Air Force related.

Hope this helps
Brian
