Private 21/475. 21st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment.
He was awarded the Victory Medal & the British War Medal.
Discharged Army Order 29/19. (para 392)
means Kings Regulations, paragraph 392 part (XVI)
no longer fit for active service.
Just as a matter of interest the Kings Regulations is over 1 1/2" thick, very small print, and there are 1 to XXVIII, reasons for discharge in that paragraph alone.
Retlaw.
