B.C.Index

The contraction "B.C." is often used in these letters, and I couldn't think what this stood for, so I sent the email below to the "Brains Trust" at DERBYSGEN, and got the following reply:

My guess would be Benevolent Club. It rings a bell from the 1930s.

Eric Millward

A man aged 26, single, is serving in India during WW2, and writes regularly to his Mum in Middleton, Derbyshire. He regularly mentions something called "B.C." Does anyone know what this stands for. I just can't find out. Here is the context:

1. I suppose you'll have to tell the B.C. soon that I've had a little increase in pay.

2. When next you hear from B.C. you will have to tell them that my rank has altered, and that I've got an increase of 8d a day - it will probably mean that their allowance will be out a bit, and you won't be quite so well off, but you can use more of my money if you want it because I shall be saving more at this end.

3. So you know at last that I've got my L.A.C - it dosn't do to lag too far behind the rest of the crowd, altho' financially, you won't be quite so well off because B.C. will make another reduction. We can even this matter up though, because you need not save so much for me at home, because I'm able to save more for myself out here now.

4. Have you heard from B.C. lately, which reminds me to ask if you've heard from the other B.C."as was".

5. I shall be interested to know how much you get from B.C. this time - I suppose there will be a bigger reduction, but you have no need to bother about saving anything for me, as I'm doing quite well out here.

6. So the B.C. allowance keeps turning up, does it? It seems small compared with what it was at first, but, I'm earning more now, so that evens things up.

From Peter Harvey "Military Man" via ebay 21dec2015
I don't know any of the Evans family and have not had contact with them, sometimes this happens with the items that I sell but not in this case. I purchased the first lot of these items 18 months or so ago at auction, a general sale in Leicestershire mixed with some ephemera from WW2. The others have been cropping up with general ephemera dealers, so at some point the whole lot was obviously sold and that trade split them up.
Don't think I have any others at the moment but will see those dealers in the new year back at some of the collectors fairs around the central Midlands.
Regards
Peter
