Z Coy

Z Company

I suspect that Z Coy is the Police Advisors Office although some of the men working there were not ADRIC. LJF Leipold's letter read in House of Commons, says he worked in Chief of Police's office for 14 months

This group of men are recorded as Z Coy but with no specific mention of Police Advisor's Office
