Title: Medical Record
Post by: Dannemois on Thursday 11 January 18 16:10 GMT (UK)

I wonder if someone has a few credits to spare for Forces War Records.  I would appreciate a look-up for the Medical Records for James Mclaughlin Pte 651089 R.F.A.  He received a gunshot wound to the neck in 1918 and eventually discharged.  If anyone can help any details appreciated.
Thanks

Apologies if you already know this. Your man was at Douchy France at the time. This was the start of Operation Michael aka the German Spring Offensive.
The map shows the location of 165/Bde. in X19 Rabbit Wood.
