Can anyone translate what happen to this poor soldier?
I have my suspects, but I want to confirmate them.

Thanks Kai, these confirms my suspects, but open a new question, why my man didn't receive a Wound Badge? he suffered twice for frosbite. Another little mistery.

maybe because frostbite wasnt accounted as a real wound- in the sense of bullet or shrapnel or something? or maybe because he recovered very quickly and it wasnt that bad... no amputations or anything...
does anyone know of a case where a soldier got a badge for frostbite?

Frostbite was the only non combat related illness that could count for the award of the Wound Badge, that's why I wonder why he didn't receive the medal.

I think it is relevant to the combat situation and grade of frostbite whether or not a wound badge was recieved....
I do have some info re: this somewhere and will dig it out over the weekend.....
