smithy

master brummie
Hya all
Any help appreciated.:rolleyes:
I have a William Ingram , his number appears to be 42250, but it has the letters K.L.S.I.
Havnt got a clue what these mean, can anyone shed a light on this. He is living at 1ct Barrack street 1.
Thanks
 
Smithy just read this thread interesting as Barrack st is off the Vauxhall Rd it was Army Barracks till i believe the 1920-30s. St James church was on the corner of Gr Brook St and Barrack St. Dek
 
Could KLSI be the abbreviation for Kings Light Shropshire Infantry?

Williamjukes.
Hi there, its the wrong way round, it was the infantry that was light not the County, would have been KOSLI, my brother in law did his national
service with them, I still have his cap badge, Bernard
