Waffenlandser Posted 10 October , 2008 Share Posted 10 October , 2008 Can anyone decipher the medical notes on this form please - is there any mention of TB Chris Very difficult to decipher. Looks like he sustained an injury to the knee and hip. FB is foreign body.possible shell fragment. Not TB. Looks like they removed the FB. The word patella and thigh means it was a leg injury. Probably shrapnel as a high velocity bullet would have caused more damage. My 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
