  2. I don't know about the (empld.) part, but the date in the Army List usually indicates Seniority, i.e. the date the individual became promoted to the Rank indicated. In your attachment, see for example Hunt, F. R. W., who has two dates corresponding to two different ranks.

    Hi
    Michel is right, it indicates seniority which would dictate future prmotions.
    For the empld, look in the front of that book for abbreviations, I doubt it means employed.
    regards

    The abbreviation I believe is empaneled i.e. added to the list. Commonly used when dealing with jury selection.
