A friend has an ID tag (?"unofficial") which he picked up at the edge of a newly ploughed field "somewhere near Ypres" about 30 years ago. It is oval, silver, on a ferrous metal bracelet and marked PTE B PRIOR 3477 ICAMBS C E.

I have not found any similar record on the Commonwealth War Graves site, nor on the Cambridgeshire Roll of Honour, which I hope means he survived the war.

Any ideas where we can find his first name, or any other info which might identify him??

Many thanks, knowledgeable ones.
