Where would my ancestor have got his wounds?
« on: Friday 13 March 20 08:54 GMT (UK) »
Edward Price was discharged from the 23rd Foot Regiment and admitted as an outpatient to the Kilmainham Hospital in 1822.  Records say he was discharged wounded.
Where would he be likely to have got wounded?

Thanks in advance

He seems to have a severe gun shot wound through something but I cannot think of anything that fits and also a slight wound to his arm.

Thorax does fit and would explain why he was discharged wounded.

Yes, Albuera 1811, Peninsular war. A very bloody battle conducted by General William Carr Beresford. Beresford was also trainer and commander of the Portuguese Army, and very good they were too. Infantry wore brown jackets.

Must be Thorax.  Why wasn't he discharged until 1822?
