    I have copies of these 3, so if anyone wants any lookups feel free to ask - ideally referring to a paragraph and I can post up an image of the entry.

    Hi Alistair,

    Thanks for this generous and welcome offer. I'm sure this may well become a popular post.

    Hi Alistair.

    Lesley pointed me in your direction with regard to my Grandfather being discharged from the army with the following notes........

    D/Charged para 390 xiv KR's. He was discharged in 1944.

    KInda hoping you may be able to shed some light on this, if it's not too much trouble. Thanks.
    Ricard.

    Hi Richard,
    Quite an odd looking entry - hopefully not to awkward from a family history side of things.

    Cheers

    Just noticed from your other thread you mentioned he was declared unfit - could it be XVI rather than XIV - you can probably see the entry at the bottom of the scan is XVI and refers to being unfit for further service.

    Can I have a look at xvi as well please?? Might have to ring me mam and check it!!

    THinking about it, he was only 18 when he went in, and put down his Dad as next of kin - I must have it the wrong way round!!

    That's smashing, thanks very much. On the records, there is a part that refers to his medical bits and pieces. It doesn't state on there that he was injured or anything like that.
    Could it just be that he was unfit - as in that he smoked and drank too much?? Or is it possible he was wounded in battle, but it just wasn't logged properly?? I think I need to take Lesley's advice and get it all posted up on here.

    Hopefully you can help my Granddad was discharged and in his records it states "Disch Para 519 (v) 40 this was in on 11.8.47 so seems odd to be medically discharged.


    Regards

    Here you go - I think the 40 bit refers to the 1940 KR's.

    Alistair

    Sorry should have said it does say reservists so would seem sensible for 1947 when he had probably been discharged but was still on the books if needed

    What a great resource I have trawled around for bits and often unsure as I always seemed to find Australian of Canadian and never sure they applied the same interpretation across the allies.
    I will look again at the service records I have and see if a more accurate explanation can be had from your postings.
    Thanks Neil

    Hi AB64,
    Just looked first at my father's records and if possible would like the official Kings / Queens Regulations views if possible.
    1. Transferred Para 382 KR (ii) (a) (I) 30/11/38 just before being recalled for the BEF.
    2. Forfeits one days pay by RW (Royal Warrant) for offence under sect. 15 (1) AA PB (Punishment Book) No 15 date of offence 7/5/44 etc.
    I am assuming this is a reference to K. Regs.
    3. This last one must be him being discharged, QR para 519 (vii) 10/2/54 & again dated 6/2/55
    Much appreciated, I am sure many more users will find this an essential topic.
    Bye Neil

    HI Neil,
    Scan attached for 1), for 2) I think it may be AA is Army Act rather than KR's, 3) is Queens Regs which unfortunately I don't have but I've attached 519 (vii) from 1940 Kings Regs which may be basically the same.

    Hi AB64,
    That's great I have been in touch with a friend and he is not sure but he believes the date "of the offence" was a Sunday. I need to check on this I we believe but don't know, would missing church parade be an AWOL offence?
    This is fascinating stuff thanks for all your help.
    Bye Neil

    Hi,
    I checked and the date of offence was a Sunday so perhaps he was not present when he should have been!

    Hi AB64 can you please help me out here? I have a copy of the Kings Regulations 1940 Amendments (Nos 1 to 66) 1945. I have a query or two. So are we saying for example service records 40 AA ( Army Act) is it in a another book, or any other No that has AA after it, if that is the
    case, what's that book called? I'm aware of the meaning of 40 AA. Any enlightenment on this would be much appreciated


    Regards
