Railway Employment Record Cautions and Fines
« on: Friday 27 December 24 11:54 GMT (UK) »
Could someone tell me what the word marked by the blue arrow says. This is on a GWR Railway Employment Record under Cautions and Fines.

Dated 1915 I can read "Holder of Medallion of St John Ambulance" but I cannot decipher the final word, nor does it make sense as to why this is in the cautions and fines section of the record.

Thank you - it’s obvious when you know what it says

Perhaps they used the records to note credits occasionally as well, in red.  (No fine noted.)

Thanks, you’re probably right as there was nowhere to note anything else
