Parish of St Andrews Sheet 2 Trace 4
[Signed] P. McHugh Pte [Private] RS&M [Royal Sappers and Miners]
Transcriber's notes
I have transcribed other signatures by this person as "P. McHugh" [--] R.S.M. [Regimental Sergeant Major}, but this one looks almost like "Pte" which would normally be [Private] followed by RSSM for which I can think of no extension. Given that most Ordnance Survey personnel of this period were serving or former members of the Royal Engineers this is an unlikely designation, since "Sapper" would be more to be expected.
Hi JCB,
its RS&M for Royal Sappers & Miners and this page certainly looks lite Pte for Private. We have a list of surveyors and civilian assistants here which might help you out. http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/transcribe/forums/transcriptions/faqs-frequently-asked-questions/1213703
I've also made a wee amendment to the previous page, its a bit faster and it shows up better on the whole transcription pages.
Cheers
Nora
