#1 says GSW (gunshot wound) to the face #2 DOH? #3 Neurasthenia

I think what you have read as DOH could be DAH (Disorderly Action of the Heart)

Quote from https://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/what-were-vdh-and-dah/
"DAH means disorderly action of the heart, sometimes called “effort syndrome” or “soldier’s heart”. Often the result of stress or fatigue, it does not imply there was any organic disease"

 I know he had Neurasthenia (shell shock) I wonder if it and DAH are related. Thank you
