Statement of the wound of His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange received on the 18th June 1815.
The ball struck His Royal Highness on the left arm anteriourly immediately above the articulation of the shoulder joint - fracturing the acromion [=tip of the shoulder] of the scapula [=shoulder-blade] - it then passed under the skin and integuments and at its exit at the back of the shoulder fractured again the scapula and leaving a considerable wound. Small portions of bone have been removed from both the anteriour and posteriour wounds - and more will soon come away. A small portion of the dress of H.R. Highness has been also extracted at the posteriour wound.
John Gunning, surgeon in chief to the army & D.H.R.H. Brussels, 23rd June 1815.
