Corporal · #SR59889* · S (inferred)

What this roll records

HIS SERVICE NUMBER IS INCOMPLETE. It reads SR59889, which is FIVE digits; every other SR number on this roll — all one hundred and seven of them — has six. A digit has been lost somewhere in transcription. It has deliberately NOT been guessed at: SR59889 has ten possible completions and at least one of them, SR598893, already belongs to another man on this roll.

Patrol S (S1/S2) INFERRED from Rhodesian/South African service number (SR/RH prefix) - the LRDG Rhodesian & S.African squadron formed S Patrol. Specific S1/S2 not individually confirmed.
