DecipheringWilliam Joseph Newton's records

[Briannicus]

Hello All,
Cany one help us to understand the attached record, in particular the letters and number under the GC (Good Conduct) column and the comment under the If discharged column immediately below Cells 14 days. WJN appears to have left his wife and child around this time and gone off the rails in an apparently atypical way and we are trying to work out what was going on.
Thank you for anything
Briannicus

The Good Conduct entries are explained here:

The two CS entries relate to the two 10 year Continuous Service periods he signed up for (look at the top left of the record too). First one "shore" meant finished his first 10, the pension after the second.

Thank you very much, Max D.
I'll look into that and see if it all makes sense now.
