I have a record of a Civil War soldier wounded in battle.
His muster records indicate that his complaint is "Vulnius Sclofreticum"
and he also has a reference to "Amput. Phal." Anyone recognize any
of these terms. Looks like some sort of amputation.

Phyllis,
Those were the first two things that came to my mind also but I was a little
leary about mentioning the latter. Most men don't want to even think about
that possibility!

The body part amputated could depend upon the location of the gunshot
wound.
In the medical terminology of today "Phal" could be an abbreviation for
phalanges (fingers or toes: phalangectomy) or phallus (penis:
phallectomy).
