Number 18299- A Marine's Mystery Past

A dissapointment today.

I ordered a copy of Grandad's Royal Marine Band service record from Kew, and they answered that the man with the service number 18299 is not William Clark.

they ask, Could the number be IB299?

and yet the number is clear in his pension book

I think it is IB299 not 18299
the eight and the one printed elsewhere on the numbers bit are different to the characters used in the service number
