It sounds to me like Private in some Corp of the army, but I'm not up on the different regiments. You could check with a local recruiting office. |

There's a list of regimental abbreviations at http://www.regiments.org/milhist/regtintro/abbrev.htm. No RAGC, but there is an RADC (Royal Army Dental Corps) & RAEC (Royal Army Educational Corps) amongst others. Both of those units were only set up under those names from November 1946 tho'. |
