WWI Pension
« on: Saturday 11 June 22 23:22 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone, I've just found this pension record but I cant understand almost any of it beyond name, address, date of discharge.

Can anyone help me to understand it please if possible.

Many thanks, Luke

I writing down the left side does not really matter it just shows the offices that the document/s went through in the pension process.

Thank you ShaunJ & Crumblie, I had wondered what all those scribbles meant. Its interesting to know about his injury, it sounds very painful when you look it up.

Thank you AllanUK.

Did you get his date of enlistment from somewhere I could get a document from? I do not have any information about his service other than his pension card.

Thanks, Luke

Good morning Luke,

His enlistment date is shown on his SWB Rolls entry, snippet image attached courtesy of Ancestry.

If you have access to Ancestry.co.uk I show the link to his entry below.

Apologies for any confusion with my earlier reply -- I am assisting two posts with the same sort of query.
