Admin spof Posted 1 May , 2014 Admin Share Posted 1 May , 2014 Doug If he was RFA this post should help you narrow down which unit he was with. The Labour Corps number was issued between May and September 1918 according to "No Labour No Battle" by John Starling and Ivor Lee. Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
