Prefix S3: Indicates that the man served in the Supply section of the ASC. The prefixes SS and S1 to S4 are also often seen. SS means that the man was specially enlisted for his trade: in other words, he came from civilian employment in a trade that was of direct value to work in the Supply section: he may have been a clerk, butcher or baker, for example. S1 to S4 mean that the man was enlisted into the first to fourth New Army depending on the number after the S. If the man has an ES prefix then he was re-enlisted after the war. http://www.1914-1918.net/ASC_prefixes.html |
