Hi Phil, the serial number on the dog tag is not his "SS" number. It is the roll number from his unit.

Check the date again on that cert?

His unit fought well:

Cheers, Ade.

[PHILBROWN]

yes, my mistake, the date is correct, but its the capture cert with that date , not the 4yr cert, that strangely is undated, a picture tells a thousand words.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Phil, I thought that might be the case

If you have some scans, I would be happy to post them for you while you get your membership sorted out?

Cheers, Ade.

[PHILBROWN]

Hi Phil

I have had a quick look and I have nothing so far.

Can you post up his SS number please and I will recheck my files.

Greetings Phil,

There are eleven files for SS men under that name. One Offizier. Regrettably, the majority of the EM files are a single page, the death notice, and not one file ID's the unit. Do you have any more info?
