Service number, followed by Rank of Lance Naik (Lance Corporal) then his name, Saleh Mohamed, I think you will find.

The last initials will be his unit. I cannot make these out clearly? What does it read?

Cheers, Ade.

C.P.M.P are the last initials.

Does not ring any bells with me, sorry.

[Adrian Stevenson]

No worries. I still cannot figure out his unit.

Cheers, Ade.
