MartinWills Posted 28 October , 2007 Share Posted 28 October , 2007 A T serum sounds like Anti Tetanus Serum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnethmont Posted 30 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 30 October , 2007 Thanks Martin I am now fairly sure from another source that Anti Tetanus is correct for the serum. D A H is Disordered Action of the Heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Hollington Posted 31 October , 2007 Share Posted 31 October , 2007 ICT might be Inter Connective Tissue. That's from memory- so apologies if wrong. Regards Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinnethmont Posted 31 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 31 October , 2007 Andy Do you mean, where did I get the records on which these medical details were found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy17191 Posted 31 October , 2007 Share Posted 31 October , 2007 Andy Do you mean, where did I get the records on which these medical details were found? Yes - because I think my great uncle was in a ccs when he died (Caudry) of influenza on 19/11/18. I know a few ccs's went through there, but I'd like to find out if there are any remaining records etc. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnethmont Posted 31 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 31 October , 2007 Andy The info came from a soldiers medical records obtained from the WW1 Pension Records at ancestry.co.uk They were previously at the National Archives and relate to men who received a pension, etc, in my man's case due to war service injury. I suspect it is unlikely to have details of a deceased soldier. At that date there were 4 C.C.S. at Caudry - Nos 3, 19, 21 & 49. No 19 was known as the 2nd/1st Northumbrian C.C.S.

And you're right about them not having any pension records for my man. Ah well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piorun Posted 20 April , 2008 Share Posted 20 April , 2008 ABF to knee might refere to "bullet fragment". No? I'm interested in finding a listing of these abbreviations. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
