David_Underdown Posted 21 December , 2012 Share Posted 21 December , 2012 Class Z was a "holding" section of the army reserve. On demobilisation, men were placed in Class Z to make it easier to remobilise if the final peace negotiations broke down (remember that 11 November 1918 was only an armistice, a cessation of active hostilities, not a lasting peace settlement - the same situation strictly speaking as has persisted between the two Koreas since the 1950s). Once the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Class Z was abolished and the men finally freed from all military obligations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
