    I have two wooden carved ornaments of stamped Spr Don McIntosh RCE 1st Field Co. I can't find anything on the service no. However I still can't clarify the number. My elderly mother says they were given to her father by a POW. The male figure had Souvenir of Aldershot' on it. Can anyone throw any light or point me in the right direction.
    Kind regards

    The Gazette from Montreal from 21 August 1943 has a note of "McIntosh, Daniel Joseph, Spr F28340 Martin McIntosh (Father), Glace Bay N.S." I think this relates to him being wounded in Sicily

    Looking at Ancestry family trees there is a Daniel Joseph McIntosh born in Glace Bay 8 October 1904 and died around 1972 with the below photo

    F18340, this is MD6, Nova Scotia (where he joined) and the number indicates his FIRST unit was 5th Fort Sigs, RCCS

    Thanks for the info, the name clearly says Don not Dan

    I agree it says Don, but it could just be a nickname or could be someone had nicked the A from his set of letter stamps (pesky German secret agents up to no good perhaps) - everything else seems to tie in though
