Remembered Today:

'Z' prefix - Rifle Brigade

Can anyone tell me the meaning of a 'Z' prefix on a number belonging to a member of the Rifle Brigade? It's not one I've come across before.

Thanks

Gavin,

The "Z" prefix in the Rifle Brigade denoted a Special Reservist on a short service enlistment.

Numbers were in the Z-1 through the Z - 2997+ range.
