Chris_Baker Posted 30 January Share Posted 30 January Can anyone tell me what this Army Order actually said? "Special India AO No. 39S" appears to have been issued in early 1919 and led to a number of men re-enlisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 30 January Share Posted 30 January Perhaps it is this one although it is about leave? No. 39 S 1919 https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.548567/page/n157/mode/2up Refers to 13 S 1919 Demobilisation British-Leave https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.548567/page/n59/mode/2up Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmelling1979 Posted 30 January Share Posted 30 January Am I reading the above link as Discharged under No 10 S Demobilization- A preliminary to general demobilization A return is required of all British ranks On the permanent establishment of Indian Regiments... Also those who are continuing in the service "on 17 December 1918" But going to the Royal Sussex Regiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 31 January Share Posted 31 January Re-reading, I can't see what johnmelling1979 is seeing, but I wonder whether Special India Army Order No. 39S is actually a reference for 1918, not 1919. I'm not aware of any Indian Army Orders for 1918 available online. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 31 January Author Share Posted 31 January Thank you for the links. Very helpful. I shall see if I can find AOs for 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 31 January Author Share Posted 31 January Orders in 1922 make reference to 39-S of 1918. It appears to refer to disbandment of units, re-enlistment, and bounty payments. If I ever actually get to see a copy, I will post it here for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
