Hello,

2741682 Cadet Colin Bryan VOAKE was commissioned as 2nd Lt. in the Wiltshire Regiment on 7.2.1948 as no. 387255.

The dates on his label probably relate to his Officer Training at the Barracks in Chester.

He transferred to the Royal Artillery on 11.5.1953 and promoted Lt. on 25.1.1954.

these changes would account for the collar badges.

regards
