MazJenko Posted 17 November , 2014 Share Posted 17 November , 2014 Hi, My 2nd Great Grandfather was awarded the B and V medal however, in remarks was discharged but the exact wording is Discharged 'P.U 06/0/18.' What does this mean? Am trying to find out information on him. Many thanks Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 17 November , 2014 Share Posted 17 November , 2014 Probably "physically unfit"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazJenko Posted 17 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 17 November , 2014 Thats great thats IPT, I know he was honerably discharged because my uncle has his certificate (looks a bit tatty now though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 17 November , 2014 Share Posted 17 November , 2014 It's actually "permanently unfit". A lot of men who became physically unfit recovered after treatment and returned to service, even in the front line. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 17 November , 2014 Share Posted 17 November , 2014 I'm sure Ron is right, but when I saw the heading I wondered whether what you actually had was "P.U.O. 6/02/1918." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin kenf48 Posted 17 November , 2014 Admin Share Posted 17 November , 2014 Have you checked the Silver War Badge Rolls? Your title is so long the name of your soldier has been cut off. As regards your request to delete duplicates, you can do this yourself in the top left of the light blue band in topics you've started there is an option marked 'Moderation', click on this and you will see the option to delete.

Especially in February 1918. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
