What this roll records
The service-number field on this card read “#7615885 L.R.S”. L.R.S is the Light Repair Section, not a corps, and it has been taken out of the number field. IT HAS NOT BEEN MOVED TO HIS PATROL, because his patrol is recorded as G2 and the two do not agree. The roll evidently held both against him at some point; which is right is not settled here, and the L.R.S reading is recorded in this note rather than lost.
