relevance of letters prefixing service numbers

[klambie]

I think I must have been mis-remembering what was at Canuck, so here's a list of prefixes to regimental numbers and the corresponding Military Districts (c. 1939). This old Canuck page shows where the districts were located:

A		MD1
B		MD2
C		MD3
D		MD4
E		MD5
F		MD6
G		MD7
H		MD10
K		MD11
L		MD12
M		MD13

P prefixes were for Permanent Force members who went active, W for CWAC's. Some U and X nnumbers were assigned overseas.
