Thank you for your help. I followed a link Pete sent above to an archive and noticed my grandfather in SSD1. I checked the photos I have of my grandfather during his time in the war and I have the exact same photo in my files as one of the photos in the archive. I?ve attached it. I believe I may have some additional photos of the people in SSD1 and the training school in Burma if anyone is interested?

We do actually have a plane ticket for him from July 1942 from Kunming to Assam, which would place him in the Yunnan province where mission 204 took place. I?m sure everything will become much clearer once I get his service record. I am now trying to find Royal Engineer groups to try and help decipher his tracer card from when he moved to RE in 1943.

From looking at his service book I believe he was transferred from the Special Service to the Royal Engineers in 1943. Would his service number have changed when moving from Special Service to Royal Engineers?
