My dad enlisted in the 3rd Carabiniers - Cavalry of the Line on the 16th January 1931.
I received copies of his military records and it states that he was discharged on the 4th May 1931, with the reason “Not likely to become efficient having less than 6 months service”
There is another word after service that I cannot read.
Then a reference that looks like “32/0 (via) K.A.
Can anyone interpret this reference please?
I have seen other posts relating to similar discharges and know that the phrase is a bit of a catch all for many excuses to discharge.
This discharge did not stop his enlistment in 1940, when he was promoted to corporal after three months.
A year later he was discharged with Defective Vision 70%.
I suspect that his poor vision may have been the reason for his discharge in 1931, so would be grateful if the attached discharge notice could be interpreted.
