Medical abbreviations in RND service record

[DorsetDan]

Hey Forum Folk ,

 

Can anybody offer a second opinion on these abbreviations found in a RND service record ?

 

On the top line it states GSW ( gun shot wound ) chest and back , but includes E&E and Pene. Not sure on these , the best I can come up with is E&E - entry and exit , Pene. - penetration ! . Anybody out there able to shed any light on this ?  Many Thanks  DD

GSW Pene. Chest, "Gunshot wound Penetrated chest."

 

 

edit E & Entered and exited?

I agree with you both, but watch out when just using your Dorset Dan initials on Naval related posts.
"DD" was used by the Royal Navy for "Discharged Dead" !!! (and we don't want that yet!)
