Samuel William Davies Att.Papers

[Mamsoth]

I found the attestation papers for my g grandfather Samuel William Davies.

 I found them on one of the more well known genealogy sites (not sure if I'm allowed to mention by name on here?). Under the category "Royal Artillery Attestation papers 1883-1942". His service number is 1474430.

Was wondering if anyone could have a look for me and maybe give me an idea of what sort of info is given?

Thanks

The documents are not well named.  They are the register (not the papers) for people joining the Royal Artillery.  They have simply number, name and reason for discharge or transfer from the RA.
In his case there is a note discharge 17 April 1944 under para XVIIIa of the relevant King's Regulation.  The reason for a discharge under that paragraph is "services no longer required" but one has to see his service record to find out why (usually a disciplinary reason).  Another note says that in 1943 he was reposted within the Royal Artillery to the Light Anti Aircraft

To get his detailed record you have to apply to MOD, they are not on line.
