Urs Posted 17 February Share Posted 17 February This man in my family seems to have been attached to the Middlesex Regiment ( as listed with this index card in Fold 3) I wonder if the numbers on the card 100357 and II/M/398168 might help identify when Edmund signed up? Many thanks and all good wishes, Ursula Link to post Share on other sites
Admin ss002d6252 Posted 17 February Admin Share Posted 17 February Not directly a clue in that card, I'm afraid (which isn't unusual on the medal cards) however 100357 is his service number and that can help. #100322 was issued on 09 July 1918 when he was called up. #100415 was issued no later than 24 Sep 1918. If he’d been declared Insane a few years earlier then the effects register would have helped. Craig Link to post Share on other sites
Matlock1418 Posted 17 February Share Posted 17 February 11/M/398168 is a regional pension claim reference for a disability so no good for enlistment I'm afraid 11 = London region (unfortunately further records are rarely available) M = a military claim 398168 = claim number :-) M Link to post Share on other sites

It's mentioned on the Roll of Honour that his entry came from. 3 minutes ago, Matlock1418 said: 11/M/398168 is a regional pension claim reference for a disability so no good for enlistment I'm afraid 11 = London region (unfortunately further records are rarely available) M = a military claim 398168 = claim number :-) M 17 minutes ago, ss002d6252 said: Not directly a clue in that card, I'm afraid (which isn't unusual on the medal cards) however 100357 is his service number and that can help. #100322 was issued on 09 July 1918 when he was called up. #100415 was issued no later than 24 Sep 1918.

Craig They're both really helpful replies with information I just wouldn't have known without your help - many thanks, Ursula Link to post Share on other sites
