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.

Embarkation detail from his Cenotaph record: he embarked as Private, NEW ZEALAND ARMY SERVICE CORPS, 4 RESERVE MECHANICAL TRANSPORT COMPANY. The rank held on this card, Sergeant, is his LRDG rank; promotion after embarkation was the rule rather than the exception, so the two are not in conflict.
