OUCH - Fell out of a plane - after the Armistice

[Ritterton]

Here is an interesting document that I just couldn't leave out there. So, I added it to the files.

If you read this, you will see that poor Corporal Jameson fell out of the airplane he was in near Paris, two days after the armistice. This had to have been an observation flight to ensure no movement of troops?? Also, this is for the repair of the surgery done in the field - so this had to have been a terrible second ordeal for the Corporal.

Now, Dr. Martin Tinker went on to practice and write after the war. He had at least a couple of papers published in the 1930s and one with a son by the same name.

So far, Corporal Jameson has eluded me in the 1920 and the 1930 census. But, I hope to keep on trying different sources. I also am trying to figure out the unit designation M.M. used in this. I have posted an inquiry to the Western Front Association and hope someone out there may know what it stands for as that may give me a clue as to where to search next.

Interesting piece!

Humerus is upper arm, right?
It might be possible the plane was on the ground... an unlucky fall from the cockpit (ca. 6 ft) can do some damage. Bad luck, as you say! marc
