Re: Discharge Book Number
Vic have you got the correct number as you have 7 No.s and there should only be 6 after the R.

Re: Discharge Book Number
If you take away the R prefix and use the seven digit number, would indicate somewhere I reckon in the early 1920's. R prefix not introduced until around the early 1930's

Re: Discharge Book Number
That's about what I thought Brenda around the 1922 mark is listed on that Book,i had said about 1926/7 at the latest ,this I had told Vic I think in a PM or some other posting ?
But does confirm that there would have been no R Prefix to those Numbers,
Thanks
This is another example of such a Number which I posted before
