Wounded at Champions Hill

Casualty Sheet
Wounded right leg severly

Certificate of Disability
'This soldier was wounded in action at Champion Hill on the 16th day of May 1863 by a gun shot received in his right leg below and near the knee. I think this soldier unfit for the military service because when required to walk any distance he gives out in the wounded leg.
