Action Taken "List LT 742"

[Guest WalterNewman]

Action Taken "List LT 742" appears on the Index Card I have found for my Uncle who was gassed badly in the Gt. War but what does that mean please?

It also says Cause of Discharge: Para 392 (XLI) Wounds KR Age 23

Alfred George NEWMAN was discharged on 18/9/1917 because of this.

He originally signed with the Essex Reg. but at time of discharge was with the Glouc. Reg. 4th Bn and I wonder where he may have been wounded or gassed.

Many thanks for any help.
