Try figuring the wounds out for yourself and let us know how you get on!

Can you read S******252;tterlin....or make out the letters? It takes time but the internet was not around when I started and it's through your own hard work and mistakes that makes it stick in your head.

Cheers Ian,
I have been looking myself,i will try again though!!
Thanks for the links!!
I read somewhere that that page was for Items that had been issued and then lost?
Must be wrong though?
Regards,Lynton.

[Lynton Battrick]

Ok Ian,
Here goes....I haven't done all of the wound page yet,but here is what I have so far...so let me kow if I got any of it correct please??

First line of the first entry I have..
Durchschneiden linke Fuss...'cut through left foot'?

Third line down of first entry I have..
Fussgelenk...'foot joint'?

For the second entry I have..
Beschwerden nach schussverletzung am linke fuss...'Pain to bullet wound on left foot'

I haven't managed to get any of the last entry yet.
Let me know if I have totally gone wrong or have any of it correct please?
Cheers,Lynton.

[Ian Jewison]

Good try Lynton,

It doesnt help when you have abbreviations though!!!

Durchschuss links Fuß
Gewehrschuß Fußgelenk links durchschuss.

Beschwerden nach Schußverletzung am links Fuß.

Folgen einer alten Durchschußverletzung am links Fußgelenk.

Now you can translate that.....some of these phrases do not mean the same thing in the modern language however!!!

Hi Again Ian,

What''s the correct meaning of this then please?

Quote.
Leading on the left of foot rifle shot foot joint on the left of leading. Complaints after shot wound to on the left of foot. Follow an old leading injury to on the left of foot joint


Many thanks,Lynton.
