clk Posted 24 May , 2019 Share Posted 24 May , 2019 Hi Vic, H1629 is probably the number of the list. Without seeing the record, I doubt it will be influenza. Might it be Compressed Ribs (Crush)? Can you post a link/image? Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clk Posted 24 May , 2019 Share Posted 24 May , 2019 Hi Vic, I think that it is 'crush' too - the construction of the letter appears to be the same as the 'c' in 'compressed'. Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Chris It'll be interesting to find out if there is any mention anywhere of this in the war diaries as it happened at home. He was transferred from the cavalry on 14/6/15 - so it may well have been an injury with a horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Chris There are exceptions. The 11th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders kept a diary for the home period (which I have), don't ask me now where I got it.

Regards Chris Chris the reason that points to home for me is that he didn't go to France till after this date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
