Hi Tim
Very true
Anything is possible ...
Interesting re allocation of new number on Commission. I had wondered if this might explain the dropping of a digit. Having checked a couple of other names in the link you added - to see if the same numbers were used in subsequent gazettes - I did find they were the same. We could do with that 'copperplate' ledger you mention.
If I can get access to more Army lists, like the April 1944 one Jon (Postwarden) looked at (post 6), I will try to find when 'Special Service' started to appear for AHA Emery ... I am fairly certain he must be our man
Thanks for your interest Tim - much appreciated
Mike
