Cert of Employment during the War. Army Form Z.10

[Drew-1918]

I came across my Great grandfather's "Certificate of Employment during the War" Army Form Z.10, by chance in a box when I was last at my Mum's house.

I have never seen these before, and I wondered if anybody knows if many survived and if they are available for research, as they seem to be a good source of information.

TIA

At a guess I would imagine that this form would have been contained within a soldiers record and not as a separate file within the Army records.

Hi Chris

I have one too only mine is numbered Z18; but as you say, plenty of info

Rjayde, Thanks very much for replying. I suppose that would make sense, though I havent seen them before with a soldier's service record. Then again, Ive only searched through very specific service records so far and my experience is pretty limited.

Dannemois, On second thoughts the one I have must say "Z.18", too. Its a bit hard to read. Z.10 seems to be "dispersal certificate" (though that doesnt sound much different!). Thanks very much for your input.

Just found my Grandfather's Z18 Certificate of employment during the war.

Trench mortar instructor and refered to as a good Lewis gunner. Handy for a job in civvy street!

Great for research though.
