Interesting number plates though.... The S2A's that I saw were all xx FG xx reg - usually starting 10, i.e. 10 FG xx.

 

This one looks to have a Civvy registration of 765 GC.......

 

Trade plates?

Chris - never put the letters "st", "nd" or "rd" after 21, 22 or 23 - some members both past & present can react adversely to it... :shake: :shake:

 

That's because in some military document lies an instruction that written ordinal numbers to not exist in the military, thus 3 RTR, 39 Fd Regt RA, 7 RHA, 1 R Anglian and so on.

 

We would also speak of Fourth Troop, but must write 4 Troop (4 Tp).

 

In my old regiment it was exceptionally difficult because it was easy to write 15/19H as 15/19th (Hussars) and even the full title 15th/19th the King's Royal Hussars was butchered within military circles to 15/19 the King's Royal Hussars (you may search for our Facebook group under this name but you won't get in because it isn't open to the public) and worse, when spoken, the first ordinal gets dropped because it simply isn't easy to say fifteenth nineteenth without a pronounced stop in the middle and the second ordinal gets merged into the definite article following right behind.

 

Thank goodness for the NATO standard abbreviation to 15/19H.

 

Ordinal numbers in the military? Nightmare.
