Title: silver war badge rolls help
Post by: tonyfinn18 on Monday 14 November 11 10:50 GMT (UK)

hi can any one help me with the information on this silver war badge list page. I need help with william covill and the section that describes the wounds or sickness. What does para 392 (xvi) K.R. And para 2(a) A.O. VI mean.
Does it refer to another list that may give more information on him.
Thanks for the help

Unfit for active service..discharged with sickness after serving overseas.
The AO is Army Order(Rules and Regs ) which dealt with the issue of Silver War Badges..there were a few over the years 14-19
