Entry in my Great Grandfathers WW1 Service Record

[GBoulton]

Hi all,

I wonder if you could decipher the attacked entry of my Gt Grandfather, I'm not sure if he was sick or wounded?

I'm guessing this was 1st SGH https://wartimememoriesproject.com/greatwar/hospitals/hospital.php?pid=933

I'm not sure if he was sick or wounded?

The first word is sick. See the slightly improved image of the text below

The words after SGH are Stirchley Birmingham which throws some doubt over Shaun's explanation for SGH. Possibly Stirchley General Hospital?

There are several online references to "1st Southern General Hospital, Stirchley Section, Birmingham"

There is a 1916 newspaper reference to a soldier receiving the Military Medal who is at "1st Southern General Hospital, Stirchley Section, Birmingham"
