tim.jaxon Posted 28 May , 2019 Share Posted 28 May , 2019 Reseaching my Gt Grandfather (Ernest Jackson, Royal Sussex, SN 2156) I can see from WW1 Medical records that he was admitted to 2nd Gen Hospital in Feb 1915. The Disease classification appears to read 'Phew Fever' can anyone please shed some light on what 'Phew Fever' was? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depaor01 Posted 28 May , 2019 Share Posted 28 May , 2019 It would help if you posted the text, but could it be phthisis - another word for pulmonary TB? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fever as an abbreviation for Rheumatic Fever. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 28 May , 2019 Share Posted 28 May , 2019 Thanks Craig, unfortunately only have Ancestry not FMP Rheumatic Fever sounds a bit more plausible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim.jaxon Posted 28 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 28 May , 2019 Thank you, all. That makes sense. The record notes that he was then transferred to Convalescent Camp - would that have been back in England or local to the Hospital? Thank you again for all your expert help Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again for all your expert help Tim Almost certainly France, probably No 6 Base Convalescent Camp Rouen. There were a number of Convalescent Camps behind the lines and loosely attached to the Base Hospitals. (You will note the Register shows men who were repatriated were shown as ‘H.S......’ i.e. Hospital Ship.) Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
