Title: Army number
Post by: Corporal18 on Friday 29 November 19 09:47 GMT (UK)

My late dad had two medals one for Suez and other fo National Service. He served in RAOC.

On one of them is an 8 digit number. Is this his army number? Thank you.

I started my two years of NS in March 1951 and had an eight figure number starting 224...
Does that fit in?
