Blighty One/Heimschuss


David Davis

Recommended Posts

In the British Army in the Great War many soldiers longed for a "Blighty One," a wound which was not too disabling or disfiguring but serious enough to get you sent home for a while for medical attention. In the German army at the time, such a wound was known as a "Heimschuss," literally a home-shot.

Was there an equivalent in the French Army? If so what was it called?
