Looks as though it will give a date near the start of the war? But I've not done exact calc.

To give you an idea, if you've not done it already, near number S2898 Clark attested 2/9/14, joined at Fort George 3/9/14 Depot and was posted to 8th Bn 14/9/14.

S2881 similar.

Spiral fracture of 5th Metatarsal. Can't see anything on what's shown of the toes.

Often caused by a rotation injury to the forefoot à la David Beckham and Wayne Rooney many moons ago.
You're going to tell me now you did it by dropping a box of spanners on it.

You win some , you lose some
