Remembered Today:

FORFEITING PAY

Recommended Posts

Hello!

According to his Service Records, my husband's grandfather had his pay forfeited on two / three occasions and I wonder why.

The excerpts from his Service Record read:

1)Forfeits 6 days pay

R W absent

Dep 6 days pay 14.6.15

Absence

2)Forfeits 14 days pay 11.10.15

Were they not paid when having leave, for instance?

Would pay have been deducted when personal tragedy back home meant a 'home visit'?

Or why else?

I'd be interested to know of anyone's thoughts / knowledge on the matter.

Thank you.

I suspect that the 'absent' refers to absent without leave (AWOL). Dockage of pay was usually a punishment for an offence.
