Looking for a John Dalby on the Silver War Badge roll there is a Jno. Dalby number 235012 Discharged from the Army reserve 'P' recorded via the York office, rank corporal.
I'm certain this is the same man. (SWB should be recorded on the Medal card but often they are not)
Many medically downgraded previously wounded men end up in the Labour Corps, but in our case many also end up in this "P" reserve, meaning their civilian skills are required more than any active service to the army - and they are sent home to the Collieries.
