I note prefixes to enlisted mens’ serial numbers such as S/**** or 3/**** What do these prefixes denote? Thank you, Roger
Hi Roger,
The S/ prefix usually means the person enlisted in a Service battalion. Occasionally, however, after 1916 they started renumbering some of the Regulars so it is not always so straightforward.
The 3/ prefix was used for men joining the 3rd Battalion.
Thank you for the clarification regarding serial numbers. I had no idea that post ’16 renumbering occurred within the regiment. I assume the 4 digit series just maxed out which prompted the renumbering.
I have a few uniform questions (WW1) Who could I ask via email at the museum?
Thank you,
Roger Kirwin (USA)
No problem Roger. I am sure we can help you with your questions about uniforms; please fill out a research enquiry via our website here: https://theblackwatch.co.uk/index/research-enquiries
