Anyone know what this means? Short Service Form
« on: Thursday 23 November 17 20:06 GMT (UK) »
Hello :) I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a form we have found mentions the reason why he was discharged?

The form is a short service form for the Lincolnshire regiment written in 1915, and written over the top presumably in 1916 in a crayon type substance is:

A 'W' top right hand corner, then over the middle of the form a large '1916 Discharged - C142'. There is also a very smudged smaller piece of writing near the 'W' that looks like a _II_M_ but we can't read the letters in between?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The screenshots aren't readable -  a first stab is that sort of overwriting is something done by somebody filing/checking records at some time and means nothing.  If the record is on line, if you give the number and name of the man we can look at the record.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
