Thank you. What about his service? Would there be a record of his wounding whether it was in action or an accident?

i think the use of the word 'disabled' rather than wounded, suggests either some medical condition (arthritis?) or the result of an accident. Perhaps a horse stood on his hand or he burnt it badly in the hearth of his forge. Because this discharge paperwork was for submission to the Chelsea Hospital in order to get a pension, a wound would have carried greater weight than a disability, and so I think 'wounded' would have been used if it had applied.
