25 April 1915 - wounded - service record notes

Athol's service records were updated in early May but referred to 25 April 1915.


You can see the third item - Athol's injury is noted and the date 25 April 1915. However, it only records one injury and in fact he was injured twice on that day.

The promotion to 1st Lieut. is recorded on the line above.

National Archives of Australia service records for A.G. Adams p.11.
