    Hi Rachel,
    i'm just wondering if we had more writing, whether it would help decipher it.

    Completion of 1st period ...

    is all I've got so far ...

        Could it be 'Head Injury'!

          I think the entry on the 'Place of Discharge' line reads "Completion of 1st period Lim'd Eng----" and is probably meant to be 'Completion of 1st period limited engagement'.

          The entry on the next line looks like "Cleared in J"

            Perhaps last bit is "of 2nd engagement"

            ie on completion of 1st period of 2nd engagement?

                Thank you maggie, hughar and JBee

                I'm peering at a duplicate page "Service at Home and Abroad" which has more at the top

                Home ... from 7/9/76 to 11/7/78 (which could fit the 'cleared in J')
                Cyprus .... 12/7/79 to 27/4/83
                Home ..... 28/4/83 to 4/5/83
                .............. 5/5/83 to 6/9/88


                Ooops ... Hello Brenda .... you sneaked in as I typed

                  Well those dates explain why I've never found him in 1881

                  Anyone know what was going on in Cyprus ?

                      You'd think the clerk would know what bit went where on the form.

                        Oh wow

                        I've googled war in Cyprus 1879 and there's a Mont Troodos mentioned
                        My ancestor gave one of his daughters the middle name Troodos !

                        I always thought this was the incomprehensible writing of the enumerator

                          lol My mum and grandparents used to live on Mount Troödos and years later gran's bungalow back here was called "Troödos" on the offchance someone would ask why and then gran could let them know she had "lived abroad"


                          I think your entry says "Head Inj"

                            Yes there was Bren my friend was born in a military ambulance on the way to Nicosia during the 'conflict' her family was stationed there for many years.

                            I think there's always been a British Military presence going back a long long time on the Island.

                            I've driven through the Trooudos (sp) mountains...

                              Hmmmmmph .... the plot thickens

                              I've been through the other pages and there's one dated 28th August 1888 which has :-

                              Injuries in or by the Service ..... None


                              So if that does say "head injury" then it happened between 28th Aug and 6th Sept

                                      Rachel,

                                      is it a service record on Ancestry?
                                      perhaps if you give us the name, we could have a look.

                                        thanks for the suggestion Louise but there are only a few pages and no clues anywhere.
                                        There's nothing on he censuses to suggest that he may have been injured and there's nothing in the Ancestry WW1 Pensions

                                        I'm not a direct descendant so it's only my curiosity
