Chris Caul Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 I have a MIC for a soldier whose first theatre was Egypt in 1915. In the remarks column it says 'Dismbd 8.3.19'. I'm guessing that 'Dismbd' means 'disembarked'? If so, is that the date arrived back at u.k.? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 I think it means disembodied. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinH Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 I would agree that it stands for disembodied. Territorial soldiers were disembodied, while other soldiers were demobilised. Regards Gavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Caul Posted 30 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 30 October , 2004 Andy/Gavin, many thanks for your speedy replies. Hadn't heard of disembodied before. Oxford dictionary shows it as an archaic word for 'disband'. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fuller Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 Hi Chris Disembodied is right! As if you need further agreement What unit was he in?
