Decipher help needed
« on: Sunday 07 February 16 20:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello to all Rootschat members,
 Could some one please have a go at telling me what these very faint words are, they are from a
 discharge document.
 Any help most appreciated

Yes it would be very helpful to see a somewhat bigger section of the page.  :)

With no other clues, I would say the first word is "Wrong" but I can't make out the rest. A bit more of the picture might help.

My first thought when I looked at it was - Wrong Address

But wondered what the column headings were.

Thank you for helping,
Above the faint word's the columns represent years and days, the line the words are written in refers
to regiment, to reduce the page reduces the faints words to near invisible, I'm sorry.

Difficult indeed.

My thought is:
'Wrong
    "        "   should be '

I'm wondering about the wording of the headings as previously asked for. The ditto marks are possibly indicating that the wrong column has been used.
More of the document showing would be helpful.

Also wondered if it said  - 7 yrs - on the right side of the page beyond the columns.
