Could it be an abbreviated 'ditto' is there a place name above it?

One would need either an Image of what is being referred to or a Link to it.

Per his discharge papers his arm was amputated as a result of a wound received in the attack on the forts of Salamanca on 23 June 1812

Hi
Thx ShaunJ and hallmark
Yes I see that Do would mean ditto,
 as the person above was also wounded at Salamanca
