The 'word' before misconduct is an abbreviation of REVOKED

The 'crosses with dots' are simply to cross-refer entries........as one would normally use an asterisk

His rank was first Bombardier............then Driver

Good luck. If it were me, I would go for the IWM, if anybody can answer your query they will.

I don't know Ellen. We need more input here! If nobody else can help, maybe you could try finding people with an interest in the 1914-18 war? I did a google search and found this forum, but no doubt there are others:

Have you considered contacting an Imperial War Museum? There seem to be several!

Yes it sounds a bit naughty! Doesn't it! Are there records of the misconduct I can trace?

Do you think the Victory medal was taken back due to this 'misconduct'? The cross next to the entries sort of implies that.
Hope someone else is looking too!

That's what I thought ... Can't work out what the crosses with dots around mean?

Trying to decipher the corps and rank and what the letter/symbol is before the lettering on corps

Crossed posts there! It does say misconduct, date given as you see, but I am unsure what the letters just before mean?

Is it 1st world war? If you give name etc we can find it. Some [people can access other records too.
Not sure you can put image onto this site, but you can attach it as an email by sending a PM. I am happy to look, as will others I am sure.
