I’m new to this and just started looking for any info I can find on my Great grandad, George Shepherd. The only number I can find is 2823318. Would that be a service number? Any help on where to start searching would be appreciated. Thanks.
Yes that number fits into the block allocated to those who enlisted in The Seaforths. Seaforth Highlanders 2809001 - 2865000 Army Number Block Allocations
Only one place to start and that is to send off for his official service records, these are ONLY available here: https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records/apply-for-someone-elses-records
