Above is reference for Army enlisted persons only. Officers did not have a regimental number designation until approx. 1948
Around this same time Army Officers were issued numbers BUT added a “Z” infront of same while enlisted personnel added a S to their existing number.

2nd war RCAF. Enlisted men had a R letter infront of number while officers had a number which started with “J” Exception to this rule is RCAF Officers who were already in the RCAF, when war broke, out had a C number and remained with them. So C is the only duplication between army and RCAF but few not a lot of RCAF C numbers exist.
RCN or RCNVR, their numbers usually were VR xxxxx or just Vxxxxx for enlisted men. Officer started with an O.xxxxx and was a period between letter and number.
In 1948 the RCAF went to a number only. RCN kept the officer designation but enlisted went to a number only with an H for Halifax or a E for Esquimault (BC) and this remained constant even if the person got transferred to the other coast. Arnie
