ARABIS Posted 5 November , 2007 Share Posted 5 November , 2007 Hello David, PZ 3001 onwards; Men discharged from the Royal Navy & enrolled in the R.N.V.R. for Special Service ["PRESIDENT III"]. A man`s service history may appear under either his original active service or R.N.V.R. number - depending on whether the rating returned to the Fleet or not.
