Sparky53 Posted 24 November , 2004 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2004 Thank you Grandad doesn't have the 14 or 15 stars on his MIC so I assume he must have joined in 1916 or after, have you any idea of the date he might have enlisted from the number?

Guest pennyindorset Posted 27 November , 2004 Share Posted 27 November , 2004 If T4 was transport then what does S4 stand for as 'grandad' was in the army service corps and his starts with S4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
