Army Number Block Allocations

Hi, does anyone know if this is a British Army tag and what period it is from??

The name is G Lally and the number is 19099391.

Kind regards,

James.

 

Hi DBF,

thank you. I still can't identify it, it doesn't seem to be like that one from your post to me.

I guess I need to try to find out where the 8 digit number was from.

regards,

James.

 

I've been having another look at it & it looks to me like the last digit which appears to be a 1 is a bit more separated, so I think that the number could actually be 1909939 which is from the Royal Engineers.

 

As the number appears to be hand stamped then differences between the numbers will occur - as opposed to being machine stamped where the gaps would be more consistent.

Yes I was just thinking that the last digit 1 must be part of the whole number though otherwise why would it be there?? The number must be 19099391 then.

 

Good evening. I came across this by accident, and noticed my Grand father's number seems to be included with the Coldstream Guards. I had heard a rumour this may be the case, but so far have only found he served with 5th Bn Kings Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster). His number was 2653277.
I have service records, but nothing even suggests Coldstream. How can I shed light on this?

 

Thank you very much. I will do that. Thank you also for your kind welcome.

 

Hi,

Can you confirm the dates your grandfather served - just to make sure he joined up Post 1920.

Regards

Hi,

I have someone who's number was 6286502 this would put him as enlisted with The Buffs (East Kents).

But i know he was in the Royal Artillery and part of 6 HAA Regt.

So presumably he transferred to the RA at some point before 1942 as he was captured by the Japanese in Feb 1942 whilst in 6 HAA Regt.

Can anyone put a date on his enlistment please?

Or correct me if I'm wrong.

Many Thanks

Lee

 

Hi
I have looked at the listing on Army numbers and have a TFEM Group to a chap in the Buffs, but, his # is 6515155 and cant seem to see where this is from.....but most prob have missed it but any help or guidance would be super
Thanks

Hi,
Any idea about these numbers 14,010,846 - 14,079,584 - 14,087,438 I have paybooks to these 3 and all are 1945 Enlistments but don't fit in the list?

Cheers

Alistair

 

And another 2 that fall between blocks 6,595,541 & 6,596,263

Thanks

Alistair

 

Hi,

Perhaps they were renumbered in 1948 when all 3 services went on to the same 8 figure number sequence?

No idea re 7 figure numbers.

Steve

 

The later 2 were both the London Regiment (I think) in WW1 - looking in Kings Regulations which has the number blocks there is an entry for London Regiment but with no numbers but with a footnote that "records are maintained by the record offices administering the corps to which these units belong (see army order 49 of 1926)" so not sure if its in some way linked to that.

 

I've ha e had a look at the first 3 with the 14,... numbers and they seems to have been the numbers given in 1945, 1 has a piece of paperwork from 1946 with he number and another has a 1947 note of the number.

 

Hi all, haven't posted in forever. I wasn't even sure if I even had an account still. I have an unusually large collection of identification tags, or dog-tags if you will! I noticed a gap in the blocks of issue numbers for WW2. This has always puzzled me. Does anyone know for sure what the gap in the 14000000's is, I have all these tags and no idea what unit issued the numbers? I can't get to the bottom of it.
