Krt Posted 30 May , 2020 Share Posted 30 May , 2020 Hello from Belgium, I've got this 1917 SBR-bag with a name which i think is: 2Lt A.R.(?) KNUDSON, 1st (?) MIDDLESEX. Is that correct? I would like to find out some more about this officer. Can someone read the manufacturer of the bag? Thanks, Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 30 May , 2020 Admin Share Posted 30 May , 2020 Welcome to the forum Quite probably Lieutenant Alfred Robert Knudson of The Duke of Cambridge's Own (Middlesex Regiment). His service file can be viewed at Kew once the lockdown is over. If you can't get there yourself you should be able to hire an independent researcher to copy it for you at a reasonable cost (don't get the archives to do it - that will be expensive).
