Pete -
no real mystery there - "REHG" is the draft number for overseas - that had to be shown on all documents - kit etc before climbing the gangplank - the "X" is a reserve so I would guess that he was sick - wounded etc and admitted to a field ambulance for 8 days then returned to his unit

where did he serve - from the dates - and the overseas label - I would assume Italy and he probably ate too many peaches -grapes - melons - just being greedy ! etc just before the Gothic Line Battles. !
Cheers
