Ancre1917 Posted 27 April , 2015 Share Posted 27 April , 2015 Can anyone help decipher the following abbreviations I found for a North Staffs (General List) officer POW Lt. E.V. Turner. He was reported missing at Grandcourt on 18//11/1916. Schulterblatt (I think this means shoulder blade). Kriegs-Laz (military hospital?). But what about? Abt.1.7.A.K Thanks Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWK Posted 27 April , 2015 Share Posted 27 April , 2015 Schulterblatt is indeed Shoulder blade. dict.cc for German <-> English translations Kriegs-lazarett Abteilung 1, 7 Armee Korps War hospital/military hospital 1st brigade, 7th Army corps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancre1917 Posted 27 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 27 April , 2015 Thanks for that. Any ideas on where I could find where this hospital was located? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancre1917 Posted 27 April , 2015 Author Share Posted 27 April , 2015 I've just had a GOOD LOOK at the ICRC form and it shows a date well before (28/10/14) the 8 North Staffordshire's attack on Grandcourt. So it's the wrong Turner!! Just shows, you should never jump to conclusions too quickly. But thanks again for getting back to me so promptly, JWK.
