What this roll records
Rank not found online. British Army enlistment number - WWII service records are not published online. Where to look: MOD Army Personnel Centre, Historic Disclosures, Glasgow (next-of-kin application), or TNA WO 416/WO 417 series for POW/casualty listings.
Checked CWGC 27 Jul 2026 by service number #2616191: no casualty record found (i.e. survived the war). Definitive rank would require UK service record (National Archives, WO series) - not free/online.
