Remembered Today:

Pension Records abbreviation

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some help about an unusual cause of death abbreviation on a Pension Record.

Can anyone throw any light on what the secondary cause of death "W.O.H" might mean?

Hi

 

His medal roll says he "died", so not KIA. So does his MIC.

Could it be "weakness of heart", now known as PTSD—"known to previous generations as shell shock, soldier’s heart, combat fatigue or war neurosis"

 

regards

 

Robert
