Armed Forces / Royal Army Service Corps Service Number
« on: Wednesday 26 July 17 10:00 BST (UK)  »
On the rear of this photo is written 8 June 1925 Ripon, Yorkshire. Dvs R. Nicholls T34779 R.A.S.C. attached R.A.M.  Robert Nicholls reenlisted for the Second World War, would he have kept the same service number? What does "Dvs" stand for and would "attached R.A.M." be Royal Army Medical Corps? Thanks.
