I have a feeling it a rushed word for Pioneers

Mustered from N.R. = Mustered (officially enrolled/posted) from N.R. (likely "New Recruit" or "Non-Regular" depending on context).

to Pioneer E. III = Assigned as a Pioneer (trade or role), with E. III likely meaning Engineer Group III (a Royal Engineers pay group or skill level).

w.e.f. = With effect from (standard army abbreviation meaning "effective from the date stated or upcoming").

(amended in future) = It’s noted that this record might be corrected later.

Pt II to Comd = Part II Order to Command, meaning this administrative change was sent up the chain.

Thanks for the advice. I got his records in 2012 by the MoD as he died in 1947 although there isn’t a header called casualty on the document, so you think they could of with held some information.
I went and submitted to see if the archives got more hopefully
There is a header called trade classification on enlistment NR not sure what that means

Thanks for the suggestion, i knew about the website  https://blantyreproject.com/blantyre-coal-mining. Finding who is employed by is going to be hard
