Question about Reason entries under Person

  • stoat11 by stoat11

    Hi,
    I'm unsure when 'Departed: Sick' or 'Casualty: Sick or wounded' should be used in the Reason options of the Person tag.
    Can you help?

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Mike

    I'd use "Departed:Sick" when someone is sent to hospital or wherever, for a reason not directly connected with combat. Diary entries often just say "XXXX sent to hospital sick"

    I'd use "Casualty: Sick or wounded" when it is directly related to combat. Usually this is part of a report that will include those killed in action or missing as well as wounded.

    Does that make sense? if you have a specific example you are not sure of then please let us know?
