Identifying a name from service number
(1/1)
jusgrim:
Hello, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to put a name to a WW2 service number if the RN service number and town of residence is all I have? I've searched ancestry to no avail so far.
The number I'm looking up is LX23238, town Bridgewater.
Thanks
Justin
