Hi Scully

Wonder if you could help me a little more??

I see from George Creeds service docs you sent me
state that he was a Pte. And after the date he was sent to the
second battle of Kut Feb 1917

He was later known as Sgt George Creed ?

Please could you tall me if there its possible to find him mentioned in the war diaries or by an officers for his conduct ??
and also if he has a Medal Card?

Thank you for your time and help

Joe

Hi Joe,

Nothing much on his medal card other than he had the rank of Private and was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

As you will see from his discharge papers on the 1st November 1919, at that time he held the rank of Sergeant with the 9th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment.

Regards,

Louis

Hi Louis

can you tall me what Z class stands for.

and How can I get hold of his Medal Card

many thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

Class Z was a class or army reserves which men were attached to when they were discharged at the end of WW1. At the time there were fears that Germany would not accept the terms of any peace treaty, and therefore the British Government decided it would be wise to be able to quickly recall trained men in the eventuality of the resumption of hostilities. Soldiers who were being demobilised, particularly those who had agreed to serve "for the duration", were at first posted to Class Z. They returned to civilian life but with an obligation to return if called upon.
The Z Reserve Class was authorised by an Army Order of 3rd December 1918. It was finally abolished on 31st March 1920.

Regards,

Louis
