azureus Posted 2 May , 2008 Share Posted 2 May , 2008 Men who left the army did so under King's Regulation 392. But there were many reasons for a soldier to be discharged, and the Regulation 392 had many causes categorised. If you have a soldier's discharge paper, by referring to this list you will be able to identify the reason for his discharge. (i) References on enlistment being unsatisfactory ( Recruit passed by medical officer, but rejected by a recruiting officer stationed away from the headquarters of the recruiting area, or by approving officer these were from the long long trail , it is the reason for discharge under kings regulations if you need to read more go here http://www.1914-1918.net/discharged.htm regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Jones Posted 4 May , 2008 Share Posted 4 May , 2008 Hello Gill, Without actually knowing the context that the "Para 2(bi)" appeared in I cant be sure. I think you are looking at Silver War Badge entry, in which case it is a shortened version of Army Order 265 of 1917. Paragraph 2 covers the difference between Officers who get an "A" and Other Ranks who get a "B". the "i" (or1) means they served overseas and "ii" means home service only.

gillchadwick Posted 4 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 4 May , 2008 Thanks for the help. Soldier's name was Jack Waterworh 48861 3rd Battalion King's Liverpool Regiment. I have a postcard to the family from Jack's brother Fred (R.A.M.C.) asking those at home if "Jack has got his discharge or is he still in Ireland"???
