Sjack91 Posted 29 August , 2017 Author Share Posted 29 August , 2017 Unsure Pete. On his wound badge records it reads Sickness Para 392xvi kr Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 29 August , 2017 Share Posted 29 August , 2017 Seems perfectly plausible to me. Military hospitals continued to treat pensioners in order to get thier pensions reduced or removed altogether. Sickness could also include shell shock with no physical injury.

Sjack91 Posted 29 August , 2017 Author Share Posted 29 August , 2017 He never served abroad Tew. He only enlisted in Jan 1917. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petestarling Posted 29 August , 2017 Share Posted 29 August , 2017 There is always the chance that he had an illness undetected on enlistment which manifested itself in training. When did he die and what was the cause of death? There is always the chance that there might be clue there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjack91 Posted 29 August , 2017 Author Share Posted 29 August , 2017 I cannot seem to find his death certificate on Scotlands people just his wife's who died in 1958. He was still alive at that time. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
