B COY EAST SURREY REG also on the envelope is stamp cancelation 25-nov-1922 Mandora Barracks Aldershot I know this is a long shot but life's also a long shot and dam strange at times Biff
Hi, If this chap was born Pte 1901 he may feature in the lists contained in this thread from Great War forum. If not he should apply to MOD for his service papers. The second thread about block service number allocations will also help. Good Luck. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=221706&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/4837-army-number-block-allocations/
