Skipman Posted 7 August , 2021 Share Posted 7 August , 2021 What is the 'disability', is it scabies? Can you fill in the missing words? He contracted a severe attack of the above ???? on his scalp & face ????? in France. He is improving but is not fit for any duty yet. The board recommends he remains at No 1 ??? Exeter for another month. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an expert but I think it reads No.1 VAH Exeter, which is probably No.1 Volunteer Auxiliary Hospital, see here : https://vad.redcross.org.uk/en/~/media/BritishRedCross/Documents/Who we are/History and archives/List of auxiliary hospitals in the UK during the First World War.pdf BillyH.

TEW Posted 8 August , 2021 Share Posted 8 August , 2021 Mike, Your link opens up a view of the building opposite. The hospital is a three story brick structure. Try this. https://www.instantstreetview.com/@50.720322,-3.526492,210.41h,19.54p,1.96z,xCSuuJMZ2CnEEMXUq6P_1Q TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
