Help. Deciphering WW1 service record
« on: Tuesday 21 November 23 14:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone

My relative Frederick Richard Turner enlisted in the 8th Bn Worcestershire Regiment in Oct 1914 and was discharged a year later as medically unfit. I have a copy of the medical report buy can't read it. I would be very grateful if someone could transcribe it so I can understand why he was discharged. Please refer attached document.

many thanks in advance
