Guest Tankman Posted 7 May , 2004 Share Posted 7 May , 2004 I have my grandfather's discharge certificate from Section "D" Army Reserve in 1926. On the certicate it has other options that are crossed out and one of these is Section "B" Army Reserve. I known this is not actually a WWI related question but does anyone know what these are, or what the difference is. Many Thanks Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 8 May , 2004 Share Posted 8 May , 2004 There is a section on this on The Long, Long Trail. Type reserve into the search box and you should find it ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tankman Posted 8 May , 2004 Share Posted 8 May , 2004 Chris, I have just looked at the reserve section you mentioned but I am now a bit confused. Non of the Army Reserve sections apply to my grandfather, although he was discharged from Section D. He enlisted in Feb 1916, which makes him New Army not Regular Army. He was discharged to re-enlist in Feb 1919, which makes him Regular Army ( I think ). Then discharged via temination of period on enlistment in March 1922, ( 3 Years ). Enlisted into Section D March 1922. Discharged Section D March 1926 ( 4 Years ). Other than the 4 years period within Section D, non of the other requirements match my grandfathers record. Also was the 5' 3"" height limit still in effect for the Regular Army in 1919, as he was only 4' 10". His original enlistment was in the period when men under 5' 3" were enlisted into Bantum units.
