And vice Foster.............. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisonmallen62 Posted 20 May , 2020 Share Posted 20 May , 2020 Possibly referring to end army number and name Perks? See below similar with the name Foster but I am sure someone with greater knowledge will be along soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aim Posted 20 May , 2020 Share Posted 20 May , 2020 I was thinking a TEMPORARY promotion while Perks or Foster was away. When they returned he got knocked back again. aim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battiscombe Posted 20 May , 2020 Share Posted 20 May , 2020 (edited) as noted before these are indeed recording his promotion, replacing a previous postholder.. on occasions the name is also provided with a number,, so Perks can be identified as Harry Perks 104/later 845079, on his promotion in this case.. most likely as later Sgt Perks Foster I suspect would be George Foster, 102 one time WheelerCpl , later Staff Sgt Foster 845078 Edited 20 May , 2020 by battiscombe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
