MERLINV12 Posted 5 September , 2019 Share Posted 5 September , 2019 Hopefully someone can tell me the meaning/significance of "IX" in "Gunshot Wound IX (1)", I am assuming the "(1)" means one wound. The wound was described as "Right Thigh Severe". TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay dubaya Posted 5 September , 2019 Share Posted 5 September , 2019 Funnily enough no it wasn’t David but a great link which covers them all ....it’s my attempt at using the forums search facility on my phone that is the issue..... the thread I remember had a printed copy of the classifications from the inside cover of a casualty list I believe.

The soldier in question is discharged to H Ship (or HP Ship), is that a hospital ship? I would imagine it could. Remember, there were hundreds and thousands of people writing and typing up these records and variations/errors will occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
