Hi
Stumbled across this site and wondered if anyone could help. Ive recently requested my grandfathers service records and understood him to have been in the paratroopers (as we have his wings). However paradata have found his jump school record for ringway but they have quoted his service number as P/JX389878 and he is listed as signaller with the 6th airborne. I understand this number is naval. From a quick research online I understand some naval sivnallers were assigned to airborne units which may be why he was later in the paras?
Any help with this would be very gratefully recieved
