What does the abbreviation mean?

In the 16 April entry there are two abbreviations. The first is APM (Assistant Provost Marshal presumably) but I can't read the second one. Looks like RDYO but is probably something else. Anybody know what it is? Cheers

It may stand for Administrator Divisional Medical Services - ADMS - Seeing this is a Field Ambulance Diary.
I compared it with the M, as under APM (Asssistant Provost Marshal) - Letters look like U's but apparently seem to be M's.

It is ADMS: Assistant Director Medical Services.

Your correct Cynthia, I typed in incorrect meaning for the abbreviation for ADMS. not sure how I did that although I got the abbreviation correct.
