He is in the fourth of the seven subcategories in that series. There's about 1,000 MICs, I believe, whereas 290 plus some Senior Service types are on the roll.

A quick trawl on "Lives of the First World War" returns the following

examination services 312
examination service 12
exam service 6
exam services 258

312 + 12 + 6 + 258 = 588 individuals, so not 1000. Some men may appear more than once, some may not have been "seeded" by a respective MIC.

Pages 44 to 108 (of 326 on the Ancestry roll) with about ten men on each page, and some RN types for the subsequent pages. To confuse matters, Ordnance Corps wallahs seem to have numbers in the 500 range.
