My father was discharged in WW1 as "unfit for duty". He had a withered leg that gave out under him after 6 months in the trenches.

This usualy refers to illness or a wound that was too bad to enable the man to ever return to duty, rather than a war wound that would be patched up and the man reurned to the fray.
