tootrock Posted 3 August , 2013 Posted 3 August , 2013 Some of it interpretted as follows: To duty Posted Posted Transferred Granted prof(ficiency) pay Class 1 Hope this helps, Martin
Colin W Taylor Posted 3 August , 2013 Posted 3 August , 2013 Paul My Take is (I'm sure others may read it differently): Secondary ICE [?] P30828 Scot Highl H C Hosp Glasgow [casualty list number?, Scottish Highland HC? Hospital Glasgow] 19/09/1916 AFW [?] To Duty 03 or 13/10/1916 87 F F? [iB? Infantry Base Depot] Posted Private 06/10/1916 4th Res [Reserve] York Reg Private 04/11/1916 5th Highland Light Infantry Transferred Private 16/11/1916 2/5th Highland Light Infantry Granted Prof [Proficiency] Pay Class 1, OC Bands[?Cards?] Section Dublin 14/09/1917 MSBD [MS? Base Depot] Joined posted to 14th Highland Light Infantry 20/02/1918
Black Sapper Posted 3 August , 2013 Posted 3 August , 2013 (edited) Are you dealing with this query in parallel with the 'public' Bollands Family Tree on Ancestry? There is a contact -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There's tons of info there, including some 35 photos & full family history ....... someone's already done a lot of work? There's another public tree for him from "Young Family Tree" 2011-9-12, someone called Edmund Young owns it? He has a photo of Walter Bollands in uniform in 1939? I'm alo noting that there's photos of him in WW2? Anyway, besides the point - i manipulated the 'screen shots' & cleaned them up a bit - makes reading it a bit easier ..... but they are now massive .jpg files which i cannot post here. Message me your e-mail address & I'll send them to You? When he was hospitalised in Glasgow he would have been in Scottish National Red Cross Hospital, Cardonald, Glasgow. (This is noted as a military hospital in the LLT site). Your query- ? date 19/09/1916 ..... some Lab Report P30828 from a ??omology (Homology?) Department at the Scottish National Red Cross Hospital. Seems to be a check for a form of "Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large chain" - Organism Magnolia latahensis (Gun shot wound infections?) ? date 03/10/1916 ...... AFW 3016 - an Army form authorising a wounded man to return to duty? You can try searching this old GWF subjest - "army form scans was A R M Y F O R M database."started by Grumpy in 2005 in Great War Forum → Miscellaneous → Classic Threads ? date 06/10/1916 ....... Posted to 87 ?. ? Depot The rest seem to have been covered by Colin W Taylor Edited 3 August , 2013 by Black Sapper third party email address removed to protect privacy
Paulboll Posted 4 August , 2013 Author Posted 4 August , 2013 Thanks very much for the help. Looks like it could be 87 F F? [iB? Infantry Base Depot] Posted Private 06/10/1916 = 87 Territorial Forces Depot Paul
