Dickie Posted 23 July , 2007 Share Posted 23 July , 2007 hi all, I have a 'First Award - Soldier' form for my Grandad. Under the section that details the disability it records he had a gunshot wound to the back (no jokes ;-) ) and alongside it lists it as 'Attrib.' (the 3 options being 'Attrib.', 'Aggrav.' and 'non-attrib.' What do these mean/indicate? Also, the 'Degree of Disability' is recorded as (what appears to be) "Less than 2 m/a" - again, can anyone help with meaning? many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morcombe Posted 23 July , 2007 Share Posted 23 July , 2007 Attributable (to service) Aggravated (by service) not attributable (to service) Degrees of disability were usually expressed in percentages (%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 23 July , 2007 Share Posted 23 July , 2007 Don't assume GSW = bullet wounds unless it specifically says so. GSW also covered shrapnel, which could hit you any which way.... Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Posted 24 July , 2007 Author Share Posted 24 July , 2007 thanks for that, Steve. The doc just states 'GSW Back'.....the family joked they were certain it was a .303! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bid Posted 22 July , 2017 Share Posted 22 July , 2017 Hi all, I have one of these forms and where it says date of discharge, discharge is crossed out and what looks like dead written in. Would this mean the soldier had died? Date is 2/10/1919 regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardess Posted 23 July , 2017 Share Posted 23 July , 2017 It seems he died in the 1st Quarter of 1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bid Posted 23 July , 2017 Share Posted 23 July , 2017 Hi, On looking at other such papers, it may be de mob not dead. Does this seem feasible? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
