Disd.

Disd. or disc. in a military roster means discharged, released from service before the unit was mustered out.

Rosters shorten discharged to disd. or Disc. A reason often follows, and disab. or dis. for disability is the most common, as in disd. for disab.

A discharge for disability is worth chasing, because the disability may also turn up in the soldier's service and pension files. Do not confuse disd. with destd., deserted.
