bartensabien Posted 6 May , 2017 Share Posted 6 May , 2017 (edited) Good afternoon. I'm going trough the militairy file of a canadian soldier. But not everything is clear to me. I marked the things I do not understand with a yellow marker in the image. Can someone help me to transcribe te 3 items ? Best regards from the sunny Belgium. He was wounded at Mount Sorrel in June 1916. I found out that the casualty form is not always in chronological order. I think the 2nd line comes before the 1ste line. (line 2) he is taken from ??C to CCS #10 (could this be G15C, a map reference ? (line 1) : he is transfered to a.T. (could this be ambulance train (hospital train)?, as next day he is in General Hospital #4 in France, and the only way to get there in a short time is by train). (line 5) : taken to strenght "A" (what does this "A" means ? Googling learned me it might be "class A" or "classified class A", but that doesn't help me very much) Edited 7 May , 2017 by bartensabien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 6 May , 2017 Share Posted 6 May , 2017 (edited) I would read it something like this: G.15.C .... transferred to Casualty Clearing Station (This could be the G.15.C which is a location at Busseboom, SE of Poperinghe) 10 Casualty Clearing Station ... transferred to Ambulance Train admitted 4 General Hospital to Base Depot, Etaples taken on strength Canadian Base Depot ... the "A" could be "A" Company of the depot left for unit.
