Hospital record decoding

[joflint]

Hi

Whilst researching my family tree i have come across the service records of a distant relative. I have attached a copy of one page from this record. It shows he was in Hospital in Le Touquet in Aug/Sept 1917. He was in the RGA (274 SB 19 Div) and I am having trouble working out what the wording means.

GSW (gun shot wound?!) III I neck IX H (???) Tibia and fibula s wd (serious wound????!!).

Not sure what this means. I have had a guess at some of the annotaions but am unsure if the roman numerals denote position of wound or severity?! From the attached note can anyone help? I have a copy of the full hospital record but i would have to compress it and make it quite small (which would probably make it even more illegible). Am willing to share it if it will help!

Many thanks in advance

Jo
