Deciphering Military Medical Records

It is always interesting to see ancestors medical records, and of course, this adds another layer of intrigue into the miasma of fug that are army records!

Luckily, Graham has not only spent several years as a registered Nurse, but he also spent the early 2000s as an Army Nursing Officer…he actually wrote some of these records himself.  What better way to have the mysteries of Army Medical Speak explained.

Grahams other waistcoats under his coat also include genealogy, military historian, and that of an author on military history. Many of you will know him from the SoG Armed Forces Advice Hour, where his is still yet to be beaten on a question.
