Great Grandfathers Service record
« on: Friday 23 April 10 23:53 BST (UK) »
On my great grandfathers "Proceedings On Attestation" form to enlist in The Royal Artillery (dated 1875) there is a question required that states;
Have you ever been marked with the letter "D" or the letters "BC"?
Can anyone tell me what the letters refer to?
