Jock Bruce Posted 2 February , 2004 Share Posted 2 February , 2004 Rob, the most likely reason for him have two numbers is his having served in both RFA and RGA. These were considered different 'corps' by the Army - a man transfered from one corps to another received a new number. Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
