modelengineer Posted 28 August , 2014 Share Posted 28 August , 2014 Hi I would like to find the details of my relatives medical records He made it to a rear medical facility before he died so presumably there are some records I understand some of these were destroyed in WW2 but as his name was Holmes it might be possible that his survived Can anyone tell me where to look? Thankyou Dougie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 28 August , 2014 Share Posted 28 August , 2014 There are 2,639 records that might hold medical information to the name Holmes, a first name might thin it down to a few hundred. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kath Posted 28 August , 2014 Share Posted 28 August , 2014 Can we have his date & place of birth. Did he die of wounds 23/10/16? If so I can't see any service or pension record on Ancestry. Kath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelengineer Posted 29 August , 2014 Author Share Posted 29 August , 2014 Hi Kath Yes thats him, he was born in Liscolman, Ballymoney A search on the CWGC website brings no results but previously they told me on the phone where he is buried ( warloy baillion communal cemetery) I found his medal card but cant seem to find where to look for medical records, his date of birth might not be of use as he was too old to enlist and lied about his age Thanks again Dougie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Underdown Posted 29 August , 2014 Share Posted 29 August , 2014 The surviving medical records are in record series MH 103, see http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C10949 only a very small percentage were retained (for statistical purposes). Unless he happened to be treated in one of the CCS or other hospitals which was selected for preservation, you are unlikely to find very much. These records have not been digitised, so can only be viewed in person in the reading rooms at Kew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
