Many more people passed through a battalion in the war than numbers used.nondisclosed_email@example.com (ghosken)Wed, 21 May 2003 23:37:31 +0000 Re: Bag with A.I.F. insigniahttps://banzacresearch.runboard.com/p3363,from=rss#post3363https://banzacresearch.runboard.com/p3363,from=rss#post3363Be careful making assumptions with WWI numbers,,, they were regimental or Battalion numbers not AIF numbers that were used in WWII. THe same number could have been used in every unit in the AIF for a different man.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Rob Thomas)Tue, 20 May 2003 11:30:25 +0000 Bag with A.I.F. insigniahttps://banzacresearch.runboard.com/p3362,from=rss#post3362https://banzacresearch.runboard.com/p3362,from=rss#post3362I was wondering if someone could give me some information regarding an old bag I have that has the A.I.F. insignia on it. Under the A.I.F. insignia is a number (1913) I was wondering if this dictated a soldiers field number. Also (I.18.) is stamped in with a picture of the crown with (Int.3) If 1913 dictates a soldiers number than I've located a bag that belonged to Nathan Reeve who was part of the 14th Field Artillery Brigade in 1916. Any help with these insignias would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Jaimie Email: sniper217597@hotmail.comnondisclosed_email@example.com (anzac research)Sun, 11 May 2003 11:55:01 +0000
