Deciphering great uncles pension records

[EastUpperGooner]

Evening all, I'm trying to read my great uncles WW1 pension record and struggling. He joined the 53rd (YS) Rifle Bridgade around his 18th birthday, post war he joined the Royal Fusiliers. 

I'm grateful for any help

 

Thank you

Here's a shot-experts will be along to confirm or correct!

Deemed to have enlisted 8-5-1918

Called up for service 8-6-1918

Rifle Brigade 53rd Posted Rifleman 8-6-1918

(?) Rifle Brigade 52nd Posted 18-6-1918

       Retained in the service under A(rmy) O(rder) ?? 28-1-1919

      Cancelled ????????? 28-2-1919

Discharged Rifleman 17-2-1919

      Under re-enlistment in the 

     'Royal Fusiliers'

     under Army Order 4 of 1919

     for a Pension of Two Years.

He served at home from 8-6-28 to 17-2-19

Army reserve 10-5-18 to 7-6-18

A total of 284 days.

Hope that helps

George

The 52nd Battalion was a Graduated Battalion, so I suspect the line reads Grad. Rifle Brigade 52nd. Posted. Rifleman. 18-6-(19)18

Best guess - Cancelled  Auth(orit)y R810-No.1 20-2-19

More likely it reads "for a period of two years" and would be in keeping with the short enlistments of one and two years on offer to keep the army anywhere near the strength it needed to be even in peacetime.
