johno Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 Salonika.doc Salonika.doc ( 57k ) Number of downloads: 0 Downloaded the medal card for my Grandfather Edward Keaney but dont understand several of the abbreviations on card Can anyone help with these. RGA/113B, RGA A1/A/3, Page 1273 DV227, Discharge: This looks like bra could be bga 392 xvia (KR). He started his military service in Eygpt in 1915 as far as the family are aware he was in the army until 1920 and came out unharmed. The discharge is a mystery Please can anyone help?

SteveE Posted 26 February , 2006 Share Posted 26 February , 2006 Brian Most of your answers to this question are on thread in the 'Soldiers' forum. However, to answer your question: Discharge: This looks like bra could be bga 392 xvia (KR). It actually reads 'Para 392 xvia (KR)' and means: Discharged as no longer fit for service during a period of war. Not applicable to this soldier in this instance but you'll see why if you refer to the previous mentioned forum. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
