The term used when a soldier intentionally injures themselves to be removed from battle is "self-inflicted wound" or "self-harm." Soldiers may resort to this drastic measure to avoid further combat or to seek medical treatment or repatriation.
If you are looking for names of hospitals in Britain where soldiers were sent during a specific period, you have a few options to find this information:
1. Historical records: Consult primary and secondary sources, such as official military records, war diaries, or accounts from soldiers and medical personnel. These records may mention the names of hospitals or medical facilities where soldiers were treated or sent.
2. National archives: Check the archives of the United Kingdom, such as The National Archives (TNA) or the National Army Museum. These repositories may have documents, reports, and records related to military hospitals and medical care during specific periods.
3. Military museums and libraries: Visit or contact museums and libraries that specialize in military history or have specific collections related to war and conflict. They may have resources, books, or archives that provide information about hospitals and medical facilities during wartime.
4. Online databases and research tools: Utilize online databases or research tools that focus on military history or genealogy, such as Ancestry or Fold3. These platforms often have digitized records that can be searched for specific information, including hospital names.
Remember that finding specific hospital names or records might depend on the availability and accessibility of historical documentation, especially if you are looking for information from earlier periods.
