Description abbreviations
« on: Sunday 05 January 25 23:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I have an ancestor who had an entry in descriptive marks as: Scar Back L. FA.

Does anyone know what the two abbreviations mean. I presume L means left, so a scar on the left side of his back, but what would FA mean?  ???

If anyone can provide any help, I would be very grateful.  :)
