nickmj Posted 19 July , 2017 Share Posted 19 July , 2017 I found a Medal Card tonight online for a relative and would like to know a bit more if possible as to what the cause of discharge might mean. I've attached a picture. Does this mean anything to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 19 July , 2017 Share Posted 19 July , 2017 Paragraph 392 xvi of the King's Regulations merely means "No longer physically fit for war service", the reason being given as sickness. Without service papers, it's hard to know more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 19 July , 2017 Share Posted 19 July , 2017 (edited) Paragraph 392 (xvi) of King's Regualtions: "no longer physically fit for active service". It is probably the commonest cause of discharge. Ron Edit: IPT beat me to it! Edited 19 July , 2017 by Ron Clifton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickmj Posted 19 July , 2017 Author Share Posted 19 July , 2017 Thank you for the replies. There are no service records sadly probably due to the bombing in WWII. At least I've learned something new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 19 July , 2017 Share Posted 19 July , 2017 He gets a number of mentions in the Biggleswade Chronicle (assuming i've got the right man), enlistment etc but nothing specific. He is mentioned in connection with his brother Omar's death, but it only says "Much sympathy is felt for the parents whose younger son is discharged from the army owing to being medically unfit following service in France" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
