Can't make out the word - poss abbreviation?
« on: Monday 09 April 12 18:30 BST (UK) »
Hello, on an army medical, it lists the following under marks from previous illness etc. All I can see is uoxe - possibly pox? Or is it an abbreviation?
Thanks :)

Seems so obvious now! All the others I've read today were just blank, so I assumed it was 'something'
Thanks!
