Army Service Corps: allocation of regimental nos.

[Guest sally31]

Hi,

A few days ago, I posted an enquiry on another part of the forum asking about my grandfather's war service, but had little luck. His details are:

Pte John Crail, M/333643, Army Service Corps

Using the medal cards index & the CWGC websites, I have come across the following war casualty:

Pte Isaac Lloyd, M/333642

Regiment: Royal Army Service Corps

Secondary Regiment: Tank Corps

Secondary Unit Text: attd. 2nd Gun Carrying Corps,

Age: 35

Date of Death: 01/12/1918

Can anybody tell me if there would be a link between these 2 men with consecutive numbers? Would they have joined the corps at the same time, or served in the same units?

Any help would be much appreciated.

It would appear possible,With 6 Figure Numbers They may be Territorial Force ASC Numbers,from the post 1916 Re~ Numbering,which would mean that they originally had Numbers previously that were Close,but not neccasarily Consecutive,just that they were in line of Numbers when New Numbers were issued
