stephen binks Posted 21 May , 2005 Share Posted 21 May , 2005 What does the prefix "SR" mean before the service number. On the medal roll he is listed as SR/8054 Pte. Harry Jones 2nd. Shrops L.I The entry underneath is 8054 Pte. Edward Smith 1st Shrops. L.I Thank you Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6th Shropshires Posted 21 May , 2005 Share Posted 21 May , 2005 Hi Steve I believe the SR stands for Special Reserve. Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6th Shropshires Posted 21 May , 2005 Share Posted 21 May , 2005 Hi again Steve There are two men with the Regt. No. 8054 because one was a Regular and the other as stated was a Special Reserve. Pte. Edward Smith is on 1914 Star Medal Roll and Pte. Harry Jones is on 1914-15 Star Medal Roll. Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
