Guest zorax62 Posted 3 January , 2006 Share Posted 3 January , 2006 I have just started researching the military history of my Grandfather who served with The Kings Dragoon Guards between1914-1920. There is one thing that I've come across that is confusing me a little and I would be grateful if somebody could shed some light on this. On his medals and medal card, it shows a regiment number of 1369. However, his "dogtag" has the number G/3084. Does anybody know why there is a difference beween these two numbers? Thanks in advance.

Zorax Private Zorax, Greetings from Private (but a couple of hours senior it appears) Cabar Feidh. I did a similar query last night using "number prefix" in the search bar and got the result I was after - there's a lot of info in the archive - give it a whirl. Not the simplest of subjects but my prefix was based on two similar number sequences and I eventually got the jist - sadly mine was ASC based so you have to get digging yourself I'm afraid. Good luck.......but if not I'm sure some of the "Brass" will help you out when they've finished dinner. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 3 January , 2006 Share Posted 3 January , 2006 I would hazard a guess that the Dogtag relates to someone else,if you enter the number G/3084 into the MiC search form there are 4 Men listed,there is a Man with the same surname [as the Dragoon 1369] in the RAMC with the number 3084,without prefix.

Hi, Thanks for your replies. My initial thoughts were that the Dogtag relates to someone else but when I checked, it does have the correct name on it.
