Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 9 October , 2004 Share Posted 9 October , 2004 OK you emmagee boys and girls your expertise needed! I have an MIC which reads first unit Middlesex Regt then final unit MGC. However the medal roll code is MMG etc etc. Would it be wise to conclude that this soldier was in the Motorised MGC. He has a 70000 number which would seem to indicate a Heavy Branch MGC affiliation.

hmsk212 Posted 9 October , 2004 Share Posted 9 October , 2004 Ian MGC Motors Branch had the block of service numbers from 79201 - 81200 plus other odds and sods. MMG on the War & Victory Roll is most certainly this branch and can be found in part of WO 329 / 1770 and in WO 329 / 1771. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsk212 Posted 10 October , 2004 Share Posted 10 October , 2004 Ian If he hadn't have been Motors with that service number he would have been in WO 329 / 1748 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Bull Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 Can I assume from Ian's first posting that numbers beginning 70000 were allocated to HBMGC? If so how high did these numbers run to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short answer is no. Of the 6 men that I have medals for in the 70000 number range only 2 were Motors or Heavy Branch the other 4 were Infantry.
