The answer is yes and no! The "block" number system was used in the UDF, however the number allocated to you on attestation say 1001 a Natal Mounted Rifles allocation, the chap might later have be transfered to another unit or service say the Air Force, most kept their original attestation number so unless he or she stayed with the same unit or service, it is true. But if they transfered it is of no help. Hope this helps, do you have a number you need to be checked? Brian |
