Please explain what "Danger Wound" means on the QSA medal roll.

Also what the EC Roll is.

My relative fought at Oliphants Nek, 23 Deb 1900.

Thanks

I assume Dangerously Wounded, who are we talking about here?

Pye F 3087 Corporal 15th Hrs. Danger Wound, Oliphants Nek, 23 Dec 00

Yes, thats correct he was dangerously wounded there, the published casualty roll shows him as a reservist in the 8th Hussars, the medal roll of the 8th Hussars in WO100/115 Page 313 shows him as Invalided.
I've just looked at the older facsimile casualty roll and this shows him as a reservist with the 15th Hussars.

I think the classification of wounds has already been given elsewhere on this forum. Needless to say, I cannot remember the details, but they were something like this:
Slightly wounded - Remained on duty
Severely wounded - Withdrawn to a field hospital
Dangerously wounded - Crippling or life-threatening wound

Hopefully, someone with a better memory will clear up this matter.

Thank you for the explanation!

Is there a way of finding his full name - my relative is Frederick Joseph Pye and all things seem to point to this entry being him.

Also - what is the EC Roll?
