"Gunshot Wound IX (1)" Meaning ???

[MERLINV12]

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.

IX. gunshot wounds of the lower extremities - 

1. Simple flesh contusions and wounds (slight/severe). 

2. With contusion or fracture of long bones.

3. With simple fracture of long bones by contusion

4. With compound fracture of......(list of bones)

 

Somewhere in the forum is a list but try as I may......

Might that be this one?

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.

Can anybody tell me what (i) SL means? I assume ix is the gunshot wound classification.

 Slight. As JW posted in Post #2.

IX) (1) SL  = Slight Injury Left Leg & Foot

Thanks very much, does SLT also mean slight? The soldier in question is discharged to H Ship (or HP Ship), is that a hospital ship?

Thanks very much, I'd seen the classifications before but I was interpreting the written document incorrectly, I read it as (i) SL ix, instead of ix (i) SL. It all now becoming clear.

I would imagine it could.

Remember, there were hundreds and thousands of people writing and typing up these records and variations/errors will occur.
