hen190782 Posted 17 December , 2011 Share Posted 17 December , 2011 Hi Guys, This man appears on the St Enoch's PC Roll of Honour as "Wounded" and was sent home "DAH". Does anyone know what "DAH" means? Also, any other snippets on this man would be welcome. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archangel9 Posted 17 December , 2011 Share Posted 17 December , 2011 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=2657390&queryType=1&resultcount=1 Medal card of Hackney, George Corps Regiment No Rank Royal Irish Rifles 14815 Lance Corporal Labour Corps 231274 Lance Corporal Theatre of war France 3/10/1915. 1914-15 Star, BW & V Medals all on LC Rolls. Class Z 6/3/1919. So presumably he recovered sufficiently from DAH to continue in the service with the LC. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBattle Posted 17 December , 2011 Share Posted 17 December , 2011 archangel9 seems to have found that he survived the "wounds", but could he have subsequently DAH - Died At Home? The Parish Church might have included him despite his discharge from the Army in 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hen190782 Posted 17 December , 2011 Author Share Posted 17 December , 2011 John - thanks for the info. Kevin - George was not recorded as a "fatality" in the congregational RoH (Parish Church ) so I think that he survived the war. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
