Hi Nina !
I can well understand your confusion ~ first let me try to explain but it will be little by little that you place the pieces of your jigsaw together !!
1st ~ the records, all of them, for WW1 soldiers sustained considerable damage during the German Bombings of 1940 and therefore only about 40% survived. These are known as "The burnt documents" and how Ancestry has defined them as Service records and pension records is beyond me.
Anyway you have found your GUncle's joining up papers (lucky gal) and it shows that after he joined up he was assessed by an Army Doctor, who decided that he was not fit to serve. (the doctors who allowed you to join up in the initial frenzy were not quite so thorough). It's a pity we can not read more of the document attached, but I feel that the above is the drift of the document......
so my feeling is that he may well have gone to India to work, perhaps he could not stand it being in England and not in the Army like all his pals, have you seen this site
