With all the permutations in the name, rank, unit, number scenario in the early part of the 20th century , there is a strong case for a bar-code or 'chip' implant in the future......perhaps a little too far?

Important to note that at that time each Regt/Corp was allocated its own block of numbers. This meant that every time a soldier changed Regt/Corps he was issued with a new number, but of course his personal details (name., inits, date of birth etc) remained the same.
