Home1919 Schedule of ‘Public Records – War Office (Army Units and Formations): Schedule containing a list and particulars of certain classes of Documents which have accrued and may accrue in Units and Formations of the British Army and which are not of sufficient public value to justify their preservation in the Public Record Office (submitted to Parliament November 1919 and printed December 1919)

1919 Schedule of ‘Public Records – War Office (Army Units and Formations): Schedule containing a list and particulars of certain classes of Documents which have accrued and may accrue in Units and Formations of the British Army and which are not of sufficient public value to justify their preservation in the Public Record Office (submitted to Parliament November 1919 and printed December 1919)

The following was transcribed from The National Archives (TNA) WO 32/17815 Disposal of War Office records: schedule for destruction.

Please note: There are four pages (images) in total transcribed from the original documents and due to the layout of the documents there are some small gaps between the pages.

The schedule was required to give retrospective legal authority to the destruction of correspondence (public records) as part of demobilization already carried out by British Army units since the end of the War.
