More puzzling causes of discharge

[Kittymai]

Hello there -

Can anyone help with a puzzling set of numbers and letters on an Army discharge, please? I don't know if there's a set of references for these or not (I'm completely new to this area!). I have two discharge cards, one of which gives the following reason:

392 (XVI) RR [the first of these Rs is hard to read - it could be something else]

2 (a) 1

W

The soldier in question enlisted on 8-11-1915, and was discharged on 10-7-1918.

The second, which is attached, uses less code - I just can't read the first word giving the reason for discharge. I thought I'd add it to the posting, on the off-chance that someone has seen it before and recognises it.

Thanks very much!

Kitty.

Thanks for this Jim: it answers the question of what both records say on the first line. I suppose the rest of it can be guessed at to some extent (ie, the 'W' probably meaning Wounded). I actually searched the Long Long Trail site using the search-term 'discharged', and it didn't return that page - thanks for pointing it out, I'll bookmark it for future reference.

All the best.

Kitty.

Hi Kitty

The first word would be Para (Paragraph) and the intitials RR would actually be KR (King's Regulations)
