What this roll records
DISPUTED SERVICE NUMBER (2026). RH6857982 appears on TWO cards on this roll — this one and that of Barker, J.G. — and BOTH CARDS CITE THE SAME SOURCE FOR IT, the Rhodesia Nominal Roll (Brendan O’Carroll), in each case as an additional number. One of the two is wrong, and the error is in the source or in the reading of it, so nothing on this roll can settle which. It has been left on both cards rather than guessed at. NEITHER MAN DEPENDS ON IT: this card also carries SR598900, which identifies him. Settling it needs the Rhodesia Nominal Roll consulted directly.
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.
Additional service number(s) from Rhodesia roll: RH6857982. Source: Rhodesia Nominal Roll (Brendan O’Carroll).
