Army numbers

[Jebber]

You do not state why you require his army number, if it is to apply for his records then it is not necessary, you only need to supply his date of birth.

Gwil you've identified the correct family on Ancestry.

As a matter of interest,
Lt. Peter J Keane was serving in WW2 with the Queen's Own Hussars.  He was attached to the Raiding Support Regiment (RSR) part of the Special Forces operation. He was killed in Greece Jan 1945.

Thank you for the additional information it was very interesting and I've passed it on to my nephew.
 
With regards the obituary I wonder if you could say where the record can be found. I'm sure my nephew would wish to see the details.

It more a report on his funeral than an obituary - Yorkshire Post 14 February 1936, Page 5, Column 2.

As an aside, the Sheffield Independent dated 11 Feb 1936 stated that he had been attached to the permanent staff of the 49th WR Divisional Signals at Gibraltar Barracks, Leeds for the previous four years, and was last on parade on Proclamation Day when he caught a cold.  Proclamation Day would have been for Edward VIII, which I think was 21 Jan 1936.

The Bradford Observer of 14 Feb 1936 said his death was as a result of a severe cold caught while on parade at Leeds on Proclamation Day.

Thanks for your assistance. Very much appreciated.

You've given my nephew lots of new stuff to research.
