[Chimp]

 

[Daft Bat]

Not all, but some...

An intelligent & well conducted man. ?????? ?????? & reliable - Is a male nurse by profession & has been trained in First Aid & ambulance & ??????

 

[Peregrine]

Agree with Jan, and can't decipher those other words at all

 

[Chimp]

Thank you Jan. That is more than I got

The only words I could make out were An, intelligent & man.

 

[Daft Bat]

Could the last word be duties?

 

[Huncamunca]

Great work Jan - I'd much rather have seventeenth century writing than this sort of thing to decipher!

Yes I agree the last word is probably 'duties'.

I wondered about the last word on the first line being 'Who' . . . but then you'd expect an 'is' to come after that and it doesn't seem to.

 

[Steve Bumstead]

Could it be "sober steady & reliable"? I can see sober, but maybe steady has been mangled?

Steve

 

[AnnB]

Like Steve, I reckon it says "sober, steady and reliable".

Ann

 

[Sis]

I think the same as Steve.

 

[Daft Bat]

Excellent! Sober, steady and reliable - I can see it now.

 

[Chimp]

This was taken from a soldiers discharge papers in 1916. He was discharged because he was no longer fit for active duty - Syphilis. He died in 1921 aged 38.

Thank you all very much.

 

[TonyV]

He wasn't that intelligent then!

 

[Archie's Mum]

I'd be careful of the company you're keeping Chimpy....1st Orchitis now Syphillis....
