TEW Posted 10 September , 2018 Share Posted 10 September , 2018 In conjuction with another post I've tried and failed to see the date of this man's GSW Knee. I've tried fiddling with the image, inverting, adjusting contrast etc and converting to B/W line art and all failed so far. he was deprived of something 23rd? July 1915 Anyone read the date of injury or date posted to Depot? Thanks TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 10 September , 2018 Admin Share Posted 10 September , 2018 Hi TEW I think he was deprived of a Stripe possibly Lcpl? Agree 23rd Posted 29.9 - not sure of year 15 or 16? Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 10 September , 2018 Author Share Posted 10 September , 2018 Thanks for the reply. Don't want to influence any answers but have been given a date from a family story adding that this man had some toes shot off. As his record says GSW Knee, something is amiss or possibly he had both injuries but GSW Knee caused his discharge and the toe incident is incidental to the discharge.

Andy Wade Posted 10 September , 2018 Share Posted 10 September , 2018 Looks like 25 7 15 to me. Just by looking at it as it changes certain highlights with the slide controls. I'm sure about the 25 and the 15 but the middle digit is difficult. It's unlikely to be before 23/7/15 though as that's on the line above. Can you get any confirmation from a war diary?

RaySearching Posted 10 September , 2018 Share Posted 10 September , 2018 Tew I have had a go at enhancing the date using the burn tool in adobe photoshop I read it as posted to depot 29/7/15 would this not be consistent with being posted to the depot for administration purposes after receiving a GSW to the knee ? The date GSW to knee appears to me either the 23/7/15 or the 25/7/15 Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEW Posted 11 September , 2018 Author Share Posted 11 September , 2018 I've checked The Genealogist Casualty Lists and he's a no show for 1915 and 1916. 1915 7/Cameron's diary shows they only arrived in France 9/7/1915. 20th July 1915. Les Brebis. 20 Civilians and Soldiers wounded by shells. 23rd July 1915. Les Brebis. Soldiers wounded on 20th were from Jodphur Horse, thier curiosity had been greater than their discretion. 23rd July 1915. Les Brebis. The first man to be wounded of this battalion was 14176 V A Telfer. [Is on Daily Casualty List 14/8/1915]. 24th July 1917. Les Brebis. Relieved by 10/Gordons & marched to Houchin. Small parties were then attached to other Infantry Brigade for instruction in the trenches. No mention of injuries. 1916 19th July 1916. Casualties to ORs; K 2, W 4 20th July 1916. Casualties to ORs; W 4 21st July 1916. Casualties to ORs; W 1 22 July 1916. Casualties to ORs; W 1. Relieved & proceeded to billets. Rest of month, moving from billets to billets, no casualties reported. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
