Hi ,

I have located the medal card of one of my ancestors (John Emery, Regiment number 860, Royal Fusiliers), although I understand most of it there are a few things on it I would like help with.
The card shows that he was discharged within 3 months as unlikely to make a competent soldier, this is shown by the words :- Para 392 iii(c) K.R.

I am hoping someone can explain or tell me how I might find more about the following :

1) Immediately above the words Para 392 are the handwritten words : Sickness M.g. or it could be M.9.
2) in the Action taken section are the words : List E/794
3) over two lines typed at the bottom of the card is the following :
W5658-8733 60,000 8/16 HWV (p913) G16/1202 9189-H2338 200,000 11/16

Thanks

Andy
