This happened to my grandfather - he was kept on for a while in the stores (in Aldershot I think) helping kit men out, but was eventually discharged unfit after a few months. He did not get any kind of allowance from the Army and went out and got a civilian job. In his case the reason for being unfit was because he had a heart murmur - he lived until he was 87 in fact so I don't think it was that bad! No records of his Army service exist that we know of and he didn't get the Victory medal etc at the end of the war that serving soldiers got. In the case you quote, I think KR 1912 refers to Kings Regulations issued in 1912.

The reason was given as 'Medically Unfit Para 392 (iii) C KR 1912.' I understand that this means he was not likely to become an efficient soldier. Does anyone know whether he would have been awarded any kind of allowance? S.
