Re: Help, please with personal ID.
Just a small note about Canadian Army numbers: they did use one or two letter prefixes that indicated the military district where the member first signed up. My father joined in Ottawa in 1940, and was ZC10171. I believe the Z prefix indicated regular army (as opposed to militia), but I'm not sure. By the way, he became an officer after the war, and retained this number. The RCAF was a branch of the Army (sort of) up until the mid 1930s, so many adminstrative details were copied over from the Army.
