I am researching a Pte B.W.G. Baker, Service No 14767330 who was killed in action on 4 April 1944 whilst attached to the Durham Light Infantry, 9th Bn.
From little knowledge I have on army numbers, his number of 14767330, was alocated to the Royal Army Service Corps. Can some one please confirm this

Hi
My father was in the RASC 1944 1948, he was classified as a driver in 1945. he was cpl raymond howarth, he ended his service in 63 coy rasc para brigade and served in the middle east in 1946. I beleive he was involved in air despatch. any info as to where exactly he would have served, I seem to remember him metioning palestine but i could be wrong.
