Alas, we come to the final note for 1935 where I appreciate some help in transcribing and translating my great-grandfathers life from enlisting in the army when he was 20 to his retirement in 1936.

You have all helped me along this journey and I have gained an insight into my great-grandfather (who was just a face on a photo until now).

I have built a map in Google of the locations he was stationed and maybe one day I can walk his steps!

Anyway - I digress - just wanted to say thank you to you all for your help!

Here is the note for 1935 which is split over two pages and I find some of the writing quite hard!

I can't quite make out the D.O references so have not been able to provide a link.

Thanks again for your help! Muchas gracias!

I think it is very clear. Just got to locate the Law referred to in the bulletin.

    I'm not sure if you have it yet but I've located the part of the law applied to your ancestor and updated my answer accordingly.

  • @SergioVelasquez I have put it all into two Word documents (English / Spanish) with links to the stack exchange questions. I have also printed out some of the reference material. It is my intention to share what we have researched with my mother in the first instance. At the moment I was not planning of "publushing" as such, apart from attaching to my family tree.

The law mentioned is in the first page of the linked document

The Law

If we replace the idem and the id in the line that was applied to you great-grandparent, we got

A los treinta (30) años de servicios efectivos en el Cuerpo, el ochenta por ciento (80%) de su haber

    Two suggestions to complete the transcription: 1) haber pasivo, 2) I think the date is 4 Noviembre 1935, the capital letter is different from other capital D's in the same note.

  • @gparis You are probably correct because there is a second note for 1935: En el puesto de Puente Genil prestando sus servicios finió el año.

    My great-grandfather had 3 sons - all passed away - but one of them died around 1936. I don't have the details. All I know is that he was in the army (or something) and died young when he got shot. I have wondered if this note stating "personal business" was related to this. But we will most likely never know. I will try to do some more digging. 😊
