End of WW2 - Release to Class "A"
« on: Friday 17 July 20 10:56 BST (UK) »
I have some information that a British Army WW2 soldier was

"Released Class 'A' 8.2.1946 and Class 'Z' (T) Army Reserve 13.6.1946."


If Class "Z" was the Army Reserve, can someone explain what Class "A" was, please?

Thanks

Class A was the standard release whereby people were released in accordance with a formula based on age and length of service.  Class B was a special skill release and Class C a compassionate release.

The (T) indicates he was a territorial (as were almost all duration of war enlistments).

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,
