    Please can anyone help me as I'm not even sure if this serviceman served in the 2nd world War. All i have is his number on the back of a Bravingtons pocket watch. The number is GS/TI 076127. Any suggestions or other sites would be welcome.
    Many thanks

    Probably the serial number of the watch.

    RASC had numbers from 1 to 294,000

    As mentioned above the number on the watch is its number rather than the owners, it would have been logged at the time by the Quarter Master (its occasionally noted in Service Books too) but those records will have been long since gone - watches were issued, returned, reissued as required so wouldn't have the soldiers number
