I have a copy of my Grandfathers enlistment to Monmonth Reg of the Territorial Army following his service in WW1 and subsequent discharge.
The Territorial enlistment states "Not likely to become an efficient soldier Para 156 (5)
Does anyone know what Para 156 (5) means?
Your help is appreciated
Regards
Tony Jenkins

In 2007 The National Archives released the first group of digitised records from series WO364. This series is usually claimed to be records of men who received a War Pension. This is not the case and a very high proportion of the files relate to men who did not have pension qualification. Many files relate to men who's Army service covered only a few weeks or months and were discharged under King's Regulations 392 (III) as "unlikely to become an efficient soldier" or (XVI) "No longer physically fit for service" or under the similar Territorial Force Regulation 156 (II).
