Hi.  Thanks for your reply.  My grandfather was Mark Jacobs (service record says Jacob). His serial number was 156516 and he came from Camberley Surrey.

Fortunately his service record is one of the few that survived the Blitz.
He was transferred to 88 SB on disembarkation at Boulogne 25/9/17 after attesting in the previous April.
