British Army Casulty list wound types

My father was wounded during the invastion of Sicily and his name is on the British army casulty list for the 1st August 1943. Beside all the names is a handwritten number, in my fathers case it is 584, some of the same numbers are repeated for different men.

The list has Regiment, service number, Rank, name, (the written number)

I am assuming that this is the type of wound they have, but it could be something else.

Numbers 581, 582, 583, 584,602


Does anyone know for sure or have a list of wound type or know what this number is.

Thanks in advance

The image can provide you with additional information such as a date of death or a notation regarding an individual’s prior listing (i.e. if the person was listed previously as missing or a prisoner of war).

You may have annotations written next to your ancestor’s name. The letter ‘L’ or ‘CL’ and a number or a number on its own refers to another casualty list. The casualty lists are numbered. Use the previous/next buttons to move through the documents to view other list numbers.
