P 150401.

I'm not sure of the number.

Brian,

I read that number the same as you. And the dates on it also fit well with other Progess Reports of late October 1918.

Progress Report P 35981 20/10/16 

Sourced Findmypast

HW 966 Nov 1917.

Regarding Progress Reports, MH106/775 is for 'Dangerously Ill Cases' for 34CCS Oct 16-Dec 18. There are additional date columns for the original 'wire' and then 1st, 2nd & 3rd Progress reports giving the new status which could be. S-Satsifactory, W-Worse, SI-Slight Improvment, NC-No Change, D-Died and an X for Case Completed.

There are pages set out upto the 6th PR but these are rarely used.

Shame they don't give the PR number.

Some wounded of 2 Seaforths. 1914.

Brian

EDIT: Some are I think named in the Scotsman 19/12/1914 beneath the Casualty Lists on p 11. Morayshire ROH, naming men from Elgin and Lossiemouth from all Scottish Regiments killed or wounded since the beginning of the war.

EDIT: 6753 Moffat, J, 6341 Gilderson, J and 7336 McKay, D are named in the Scotsman 28/12/1914 on a Casualty List dated 19/11/1914 under Scottish Regiments - Wounded.

Thank you TEW - that's most interesting.  We certainly see the same soldier turn up in more than one Progress Report.

In terms of the abbreviations, have you seen any that are DI? If so, I just wonder if a possible alternative for SI might be seriously ill, and DI might be dangerously ill? 

David.

David,

That MH106/755 is a specific book just for Dangerously Ill Cases, so they're all DI. The register needs more research and cross referencing to full service records and The Sick & Wounded progress reports.

This book doesn't use the term 'Seriously Ill'. I believe there is a normal A&D book for the same period so an individual would be recorded in two books but I've never seen Dangerously or Seriously used in A&D books. 

I presume if you're seriously ill and get worse you're recorded in the dangerous book.

The SI abbreviation almost seems like an odd coincidence for Seriously Ill. I wonder who by and where was the term Seriously Ill applied to the PRs.

September 1915. Very faint but readable.

I hope to upload 86 images over the next few posts. These are almost exclusively Amendment Lists to earlier lists. I've checked for duplicates. Some images have been patched together from two copies. Any other annotation on the image header will be based partly from the spreadsheet and from checking previously uploaded lists.

I'm not identifying the lists in the posts but I have created a 300+ row spreadsheet for these images which David can add to the main version.

Thank you, TEW and greetings from across the Teign .You have found 6/7 for me. 261 Pte. Chitty, R.  3rd K.R.R.  I have the 1914/5 star trio to Y-261. PTE. R.A. CHITTY. K.R.RIF.C.  883 Pte. Robson, T.R. 2.N. Fus. I have the 1914/5 star trio to 7-883 PTE. C.R. ROBSON. NORTH'D FUS. (the MIC shows as Charles R(obert). Robson).  832 Gnr. Anderson, E.J.  R.F.A.  I have the British War Medal to 832 CPL. E.J. ANDERSON. R.A.  551 Spr. Colliver, L. R.E.  I have the 1914/5 star trio to 551 SPR. L. COLLIVER. R.E.  666 Spr. Eccles, R.H. R.E.  I have the victory medal to 666 SPR. R.H. ECCLES. R.E.   Now the tricky one. You have two casualty lists covering this man but one (no. 21093) has been expanded so as to give very little information. This one just shows 828 L.Cpl. Duncan J.C.  The other one shows 828 L/C Duncan, J.  7/1. R.Highrs.  I have the 1914/5 star trio to 828 PTE. (L.CPL. on the star - naughty boy as falling down the ranks?) J.C. DUNCAN. R.HIGHRS.

Quite a haul Jim, for some reason I thought you were Totnes way.

The amendment lists have various errors, some are simple number inversions, mis-spellings of surnames or wrong initials or unit details. Occasionally there are men given as Royal Irish Rifles when they were Royal Irish Regiment. Fusiliers also seem to confound the original clerks.

Some entries defy an identification.

I have a few ancestors buried at Stoke, farmed around Rocombe & Gabwell. My father took on Higher Charlecombe circa 1965 so I spent many hours in the area including the Church House garden.

Thanks Brian,

foolishly I hadn't spotted these latest lists from you - for which as ever, many thanks - when I posted an update to the index just now.  Apologies.

David.
