Acronym CMLO?

What does the acronym CMLO actually mean? I found it on a document for a former Polish DP which has the employment annotation "CMLO Hamburg "...any help will be appreciated

Civil and Military Liaison Office(r)?

Many thanks indeed for the explanation


I also have:

Civil Mixed Labour Organisation (CMLO)
Control Commission for Germany (British Element) 1947-1949.

sjam, search for Mixed Services Organisation on this site, will give you lots more information.

Come My Little Orderly---CMLO

Carry My Luggage Orderly

Stupid boy !

Many thanks, but searching this site for CMLO only pulled up one other thread apart from my own.

However I just found (online) In the National Archives at Kew, London there are a small number of CMLO related files including:

CMLO/CMWS: recruitment of DP volunteers and conditions of service
Date: 1948
Reference: FO 1052/169
Former references in its original department: PWDP/2008

Another series of files at the National Archives,:

Reference: FO 1052
Title: Control Office for Germany and Austria and Foreign Office: Control Commission for Germany (British Element), Prisoners of War/Displaced Persons Division: Registered Files (PWDP and other Series)
Description: This series contains records of the Prisoners of War/Displaced Persons Division.
Date: 1944-1952

Someone else might also find the above useful in the future.
