Help with Silver War Badge please

[petersloan]

Morning everyone,

I've just been on the new Ancestry Silver War Badge info. and have found on 'Rolls of individuals entitled to a Silver War Badge' for the border Regt. an entry that says:

Johnston Bailiff - Kings regulations W.392 (XV1a) para B. i.

A.O. ii d/-10-8-17

I'm ok with W. 392 (XVIa). Can anyone tell be what para B.i. and the A.O bit means?

Thanks

Peter

I have the same problem. Can someone decipher the following please. para 392 (x.v.i.1) K.R. Para B.1 of A. O. 11

Thanks Jean

King's Regulations Paragraph 392 xvi a - "Surplus to military requirements [having suffered impairment since entry into the service]"

A. O. followed by a date refers to the relevant Army Order issued on that date under which authority the discharge took place.

Para B.i. - I have no idea, but I suspect that it refers to some form of sub-division of the regulations which gave a little more information on the specific circumstances of each discharge.

I have my great grandfather William George Sidney Newman. par. 392 (xxv) and it says services no longer required. Does anyone no why this should be?

Have you taken a read of this in the Long Long Trail,at top left of the page ?

http://www.1914-1918.net/grandad/swb.htm

it gives all the reasons for discharge,most of them specific,except,and maybe not exceptionally,(xxv)which might be a device where no other item satisfies the need of the authority.Even that has a sub-clause A after it.

A.O. ii d/-10-8-17

A.O. II d/10-8-17 actually relates to Army Order 265 II of 1917, the details of which can be found Here. Should hopefully tell you what you need.

Regards

Steve
