Notes
The service medical records document marked varicose veins of the left leg and shortening of the right leg. The right leg was recorded as one inch shorter than the left following a 1907 fall from a railway bridge; the varicose veins were said to have begun about 1912. The Medical Board found both conditions pre-enlistment, permanent and not aggravated by service, and recorded no disability due to service. It noted a decided limp, pain and swelling of the left leg with walking, and right-leg pain after walking more than about two miles. The 2 November 1918 Medical History Sheet records height 5 ft 4½ in, weight 161 lb and chest 37½–41 in. Other forms record height as 5 ft 5 in and 5 ft 4 in.
