Source table
Much of the information on this Page was extracted from the soldier’s Royal Artillery Tracer Card – held on Ancestry.co.uk.
While the Tracer Card shows a transfer from KORR in January 1941, Gunner Hope's Regimental Number is from a block allocated to the Royal Artillery. Full Service Records would be needed to clarify why this is the case.
