WW1 Casualty forms
« on: Saturday 04 January 25 03:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help me read these WW1 casualty forms please?

With the first record, I can read everything except what is on the last eight lines or so. With the second form, much of it is a loss to me, I can read the odd word here and there. I don't understand many of the abbreviations either, I don't know much about military history. Would this be better to post in the war section of the site? Even still, I wouldn't be able to read the writing!

If anyone can provide any help I would be very grateful! Thank you.  :)

The text on the images are too small to read
Do you have larger cropped images of the words that need to be clarified?

Thank you for your interest! Shaun has kindly posted the links to the records, so hopefully that will mean people can zoom in at their own discretion? But I will still upload cropped versions if they are needed.  :)
