Romilly Posted 17 October , 2007 Share Posted 17 October , 2007 What does the term, 'placed on books' signify? Does it mean that someone is on a last warning? (I noticed it on my late father's service record and wondered if someone could enlighten me:-) Cheers, Romilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
