    Smile Royal Artillery Attestations question

    Hello All

    New here, so hoping this isn't already out there somewhere...

    I've found my Grandad in the RA attestations - I know he was not suitable for the military because he was colourblind and he was put in the Home Guard.

    Can anyone tell me what WI or WJ stands for?




    Thanks

    Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums
    If you came to us from Forces War Records reading this will tell you a little about us.
    The National Archives site Here has a research guide for the Home Guard and gives a link where you can order your grandfather's service record. You will need 30 pounds and his death certificate
    Sorry I can't help with the abbreviation but I am sure someone else will be able to help.
