Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 30 March Share Posted 30 March I don't think 'Meningeal Haemorrhage, Acute" can be translated into anything that would be a chronic effect of 'Shell Shock'. I suspect that it would be what we call a Sub-Arachnoid Haemorrhage, a particularly nasty type of stroke, with a high mortality rate even today. A blood vessel bursts at the base of the brain, and bleeds into the sub-arachnoid space. The arachnoid matter is part of the meninges.. I think that would qualify as a meningeal haemorrhage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I don't think there would be any possibility that shell shock or trench fever would be linked to his death in any way whatsoever.

He may well have suffered from one or the other, or both at some point during the war, but he didn't die as a result of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
