1918 injured soldier 2nd Scottish General Hospital, Craigleith, Scotland
« on: Wednesday 19 February 14 00:47 GMT (UK) »
My uncle was removed from the battlefront for medical reasons during 1st world war.  He ended up
in 2nd Scottish General Hospital, Craigleith, Scotland, which was a military hospital. On 7th Mar. 1918 he was declared not fit for discharge. On 24th April, 1918 he was discharged from the army due to heart disease.  I don't know if he was also discharged from the hospital at that time or if he died there.   The 2nd Scottish Hospital is , of course, no longer a military hospital and is now known under another name. Is there likely to be any hospital records of that time still around? I can find no trace of him returning home to England or of his death.

You haven't given any details of his name/birthyear/birthplace

Have you checked for a death on www.cwgc.org

Was he married before his hospitalisation?
