English term or phrase: War Office Selection Board
Din cate inteleg, era o comisie care activa in Marea Britanie in timpul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial. Explicatia pe care am gasit-o este: officer cadet selection panel of British Army, circa WWII. Nu stiu insa cum s-ar putea traduce. O varianta ar fi sa il las netradus. Any suggestions?
Desi nu mi se pare foarte edificator, iata si contextul:
"Having done exceptionally well in the intelligence tests and having a good command of English, my commanding officer recommended that I should go to the War Office Selection Board which should lead to a commission".
Multumesc pentru orice sugestii!

Explanation:
Spre deosebire de perioada de pace când se putea ajunge ofiţer doar dacă urmai şcoala de ofiţeri, în război, se putea ajunge şi prin această comisie.

neutral  Sandra & Kenneth Grossman: Nu promovare in corpul ofiterilor, ci a fi cadet la scoala de ofiteri. Adica scoala tot trebuia s-o faca. Admiterea la sc. de ofiteri era probabil mai rapida/flexibila.
