G.H. Rouen .... general hospital in Rouen, France ...  on that date in 1918...

Ldn .... London

Adm  or similar ... Admitted to .... (name of or abbreviation for a hospital, adission as a patient)

RTNZ is return to New Zealand

Forces War Records will not have the depth of detail that Mckha489 has found for you in those free to downliad NZ files.


Yes GSW is GunShot Wound. SGSW is servere GSW ... plenty of NZ regulars on NZ board helped encourage NZ archives to digitise those WWI service records,   :)  likely they will help decipher the handwriting abbreviations.  Perhaps the thread could include a link on the NZ board?

There are a number of threads mentioning Forces War Records, few, or none of which are very favourable. They charge to view records which are freely available elsewhere.

So I got more info from older family members they said that my great grandmother still lived at home when she was working at the hospital the family home was at roybridge so it would have been the closest hospital to there.
Thankyou everyone who has posted
