[High Wood]

Hello Didier,

I have searched the Casualty Lists for this number and no results came up. This shows that the owner, Dvr Wood, was not wounded, missing or killed in action. Having the trade of Driver, he could have been in a Corps such as the R.A.S.C., The Royal Engineers, The Royal Artillery, The Pioneer Corps or any number of other regiments. Wood is a relatively common surname in England.

The number is part of the block allocated to the General Service Corps. As a war time measure, many British soldiers were given their basic training with the G.S.C. before being allocated to a regiment or corps.

As the owner has left no trace in the published records, it will be difficult to identify him. It should be possible once the WW2 Service papers are released into the public domain. As yet, there is no date set for their release.

Best wishes,

Simon
