Three recurring questions I have on tagging
-
by Nahameb
I have three of questions that keep coming up:
- What do I tag 'on fatigue' as?
- What do I tag things like cleaning weapons and salvage work as?
- I know how to tag Other Ranks who depart through illness etc but how do I tag when Other Ranks join from depot?
Thank you!

Hi Nahameb,
"On fatigue" would best be described by the Unit Activity tag "Working party". I do not see a good tag for cleaning weapons or salvage work. I am sure that they cleaned weapons regularly, so this is probably a detail that does not need to be tagged. You may want to make a comment about the salvage work.
Other ranks join on a regular basis. There is a lot of movement between units. This is covered in the periodic reports of unit strength. If a larger number (30 or more?) join we have been asked to make a comment and use the hashtag #draft followed by the number of persons who joined.
Thanks for all your hard work!

I think the salvage stuff is quite interesting. Until I got involved here I had no idea about the huge amounts of equipment and clothing that were salvaged from the battlefield (mainly by the Labour Corps as the war went on). I certainly think salvage is worth a hashtag.
