Chris_Baker Posted 18 March , 2011 Share Posted 18 March , 2011 King's Regulations 392iiic means "Not likely to become an efficient soldier (Recruit within three months of enlistment considered unfit for service)". Sounds like an overenthusiastic recruiter had passed a man that he really should have rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndavidswarbrick Posted 18 March , 2011 Share Posted 18 March , 2011 Paragraph 392 of King's regulations, with all its many subdivisions, was the authorisation for discharging men from the army. It detailed all of the different reasons why a man would not make or be able to be a soldier. Para 392 [iii] was "not likely to become a efficient soldier" - which could cover anything from flat feet onwards. Dave Swarbrick Chris posted as I was replying!
