Re: napkin rings with the number WX27614 1945
It may help to know how you acquired these napkin rings.
WX27614 is the service number of Australian Army Private Allistor Victor THOMSON, who enlisted in Western Australia in 1942 and was discharged in 1946 (i.e. survived the war).
He may have been involved in the Oboe 2 operation at Balikpapan on 1 July 1945 (http://www.awm.gov.au/units/place_1913.asp).
