silver war badge rolls help
« 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
