Canadian service number?
Hi folks,
Does this look like a Canadian service number? It is located behind the pocket in a 1943 Canadian battledress that I'm not sure about, and I'd like to know whether the number matches the badging. It looks to my eye to be P 8369 ? or P 8869 ? I understand P to be permanent force units, but the number block doesn't fit the lists I've seen online. Thoughts? |

Not sure that is a P. And any idea what the last number is?

Hi Bill,
I thought P was more likely than any of the other options, but of course I'm not sure. As for the last digit, I'm not sure whether it's a number or just a solid block. If it's a number, I'd say it's most likely another 8 or 9. |

Last number looks like a 5 to me. The 'P' is too indistinct. Could also be an F or a 7.

Thanks Thomas,
I agree about the P, it could just as easily be an F. I'd hoped it was a letter, as that would make it potentially a Canadian service number. The last digit I don't think is a 5 however. The stamp has been pressed too hard and the square edges of it are shown - I think that makes it look like a 5, but is perhaps misleading. The number is whatever is in the middle, and the white bits suggest something like an 8 to me. Cheers, Burton |
