Title: can anybody tell me what this says please?
Post by: Lyndseywood1990 on Thursday 27 April 17 17:15 BST (UK)
I'm particularly interested in what happened on 29th May 09.

This is a statement of services of My Great great Grandfather who served in the Royal Field Artillery.

Thank you

It seems he left the service for exactly 3 years between enrolling and being re-engaged, but I don't recognise the word - revisted ?  Before he got up to something naughty later ....

I wonder if the word would be "Reverted"

Yes, he reverted from Class A reserve in which he enrolled in 08 back to Class B reserve in May 09. Sequence:

May 08 to Class B reserve after service
Nov 08 to Class A (more money in it)
Nov 09 back to Class B
re-engaged 1912
court martialled and imprisoned 1914

LLT is good on the reserve classes:

Aw thank you all for the great answers. Yes I saw that, I wonder if there's a way to find out what he had done to be imprisoned!

As he was convicted by civil power, you could try the newspapers.

If you post his name/age, others may be able to help.
