Title: Medical abbreviation query
Post by: Phil Antony on Tuesday 05 November 24 14:50 GMT (UK)

From this part of my relatives Service Record I can see that he was severely injured on 12 Jul 1917 and admitted to adm56 General Hospital Etaples. Then there are the numbers 9 7/17. These numbers also appear on his SB36 pension card and seem to be a code for his wounds. Is there anywhere that  gives an explanation as to what these could mean, and how to decipher them?

Thanks for any help.
