Hello Everyone,

On it it says, wounded in action G.S.W right Buttock 09/04/1915,

Thank you once again for all the information I received.

Hi everyone,
I have this picture from my Great Grand fathers service record.My question is if it says he arrived in Marseilles on
26-09-1914 and then wounded in the field on 09-04-1915 would he have been with the battalion even though it doesn't say in the field earlier in the record?(hope the question makes sense).

Thanks heaps Brad

its depot brad.
when a soldier is invalided home to hospital,hes posted to the depot,when he leaves hospital,he has to report regularly to the depot,until hes fit,then hes usually granted 10 days leave and then returned to his own battalion,or posted to another battalion.
