Hi I just check my inbox. Hope you had an answer but I couldn't read any on the list. anyway here is a little explanation : your Great Grandfather must have been a soldier during WWI disembodiment means that the soldier is allowed to leave is corp. demobilization means that he is officially released from duty. the dates are sometimes different in peace time when the soldier takes the remaining holidays before definitively leaving the army. hope that helps Anthony -------------------------------------------------- From: <london-request@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 9:00 AM To: <london@rootsweb.com> Subject: LONDON Digest, Vol 6, Issue 173 > > > There is a webpage for the the London List at : www.londonlist.org.uk/ > This mailing list works in parallel with the London surname interest list > on the web at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/london.html .
