Help to find details UK Officer WW2

#1

Pretty sure this is WW2 but really trying to find details of the Officer who owned it, I have found on forces war records the following officers with W Cuthbertson, but do not subscribe so only have a basic result so cant link to the service number:
W. Cuthbertson (Major) 1941
W.R. Cuthbertson (Flying Officer) 1944
W. Cuthbertson (2nd Lieutenant) 1942
W.W.A Cuthbertson (2nd Lieutenant) 1943
William Graham Cuthbertson (Lieutenant) 1941
William Roberts Cuthbertson (Flying Officer) 1943

Can anyone help with an id or able to link an Officer with the service number in my previous post or point me in the right direction to a free resource to check WW2 army service Offifer numbers??? have just come into possession of a Puma Sportmesser made in Soligen that was handed into a charity shop, written on the rear of the sheath is:
224435 or 229935 of which is an army number and also Lt W Cuthbertson or similar.
can anyone help in a little research for this Officer.

Hi,

A search on the two different army numbers in the London Gazette reviels that the officer in question is William Cuthberson (229935) and that he recieved an Regular Army Emergency commission on 19th March 1942 as 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery.

A search on him in the London Gazette will bring you additional inforation on him.
Kind Regards
