Hello Forum,
Can anyone decipher the first line of these two remarks on my grandfather's Army Form Z.18 Certificate of Employment During the War?
I think the second line is "Well Considered - or Conducted - Soldier"
But the first line is illegible to me. Does it say 15 Pair? Pair of what? And 15 doesn't make a pair of anything...Help...

Did you forget to attach the image?

a. not "considered" but "conducted"
b not Paras as this is a WW1 form

I see it was Royal Welch* - it's not Bat - so what is it ?
* Welsh but my Grandad and two uncles and other family members served with the RWF and we still spell it Welch :)
Added - there was a 15th Battalion of RWF:

Can you post a link to his records. There may be some clue in the jobs he was given.

I Googled "Well Considered Soldier" to see if the term was used before. He is an example of one World War I veteran who went onto bad things after the end of WWI.
"He was an Austrian who became leader of Germany. He fought in a Bavarian (German state) regiment in WW1 and was a successful and well considered soldier winning the Eisernes Kruez 2 and 1 in combat roles".
