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).
