Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 12 September , 2020 Share Posted 12 September , 2020 (edited) Very interesting arantxa I'm glad you posted the third image which clarifies the nature of his injury as "Bullet wound thro' arm". (In the first image it looks awfully like "Bullet wound through ar*e" ! ) Edited 12 September , 2020 by Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always presuming he had been captured recently, his regiment was in the line near Eaucourt l‘Abbaye. His Red Cross PoW is one of a large number of cards for persons with names beginning with B that are missing or for some reason have not been digitized.
