2895. New Herrington. James Bilton, 30, putter.
1. "The said James Bilton is in good health. The wound on left side of his head received in 1909, is soundly healed, is non-tender. His skull has been fractured in this area. He voluntarily joined the Army in 1915, served overseas and was not demobilised till 1919 when he resumed work as a labourer at bank at which he continued from January, 1919 to January, 1922. His reflexes are all normal. I have seen the X-ray photograph of his skull. They show no injury such as to damage or cause pressure on the brain. There is no pulsation over injured area and the boney gap has almost entirely closed and his condition is such that he is fit to perform the light work, viz. :— Labouring at surface, at which he has been employed from January, 1919 to January, 1922.
2. The incapacity of the said James Bilton to work as a "putter" is due to his accident on 20th March, 1909.
Dated this 20th day of March, 1922.
(Signed) SELBY W. PLUMMER, M.D.,
Medical Referee."
