Wording on a WW1 Army Form
« on: Friday 21 November 14 16:04 GMT (UK) »
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...

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".
