What this roll records
Embarkation detail from his Cenotaph record: he embarked as SECOND LIEUTENANT, Headquarters, 27th (Machine Gun) Battalion, 2NZEF Nominal Roll 3 p. 104, Third Echelon. The rank held on this card, Lieutenant, is his LRDG rank; promotion after embarkation was the rule rather than the exception, so the two are not in conflict.

The prefix NZ has been added to his service number, on the authority of the Auckland War Memorial Museum Online Cenotaph record already linked on this card — the Museum holds him as a New Zealand service person. The digits are unchanged. This roll formerly left the number unmarked, which made it look like a British number to anyone reading the field rather than the card.
