kevin ley Posted 17 May , 2006 Share Posted 17 May , 2006 I wonder if anyone can help with interpreting the cause of discharge on a Silver war badge medal card. The card gives date of enlistment as 16-2-15 and date of discharge as 14-1-18. The cause of discharge is given as PS 92 (XVI) KR S.A.D. 29-19. Does anyone know what this Kings Regulation means? Does S.A.D. stand for "shot at dawn" possibly? Kind regards, Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 19 May , 2006 Share Posted 19 May , 2006 If a man was discharged from the service and thereby awarded the SWB, he could hardly have been executed, could he? The letters and numbers refer to King's Regulations 392 paragraph xvi "No longer physically fit for service". The KR392 codes appear at http://www.1914-1918.net/discharged.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 19 May , 2006 Share Posted 19 May , 2006 If a man was discharged from the service and thereby awarded the SWB, he could hardly have been executed, could he? Might have a been really bad shots in the firing squad! (3 failed attempts at execution mean you're a free man doesnt it (or was that another century???). Dave.
