hucks216 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Wound Codes: 33 - Freezing related disorders 31a - Bulletwounds 25 - Skin and connective tissue problems 31a - Bulletwounds 31b - Handgrenade, mortar, artillery (shrapnel) It looks like he was undergoing hospital treatment for 3 months for the frostbite injury from 30th December 1941 to 30th March 1942. He then spent just over 3 months out of the hospital before re-entering the Lazarett system for another 4 months with gunshot wounds.
