History is on reverse: "Surgeon General’s Office, Army Medical Museum. Photograph No. 246. Gunshot Fracture of Upper Third of Left Femur, treated by Smith’s Anterior Splint with Partial Recovery. Private Josiah Jones, Co. D, 12th New Hampshire Volunteers, aged twenty-four years, was wounded at Chancellorsville on May 3, 1863, by a missile which fractured the left femur in the upper third. On May 15th he was admitted to the hospital of Whipple’s Division, Third Corps; and on June 14th he was sent to the Second Division Hospital at Alexandria, where, on November 20, 1863, he was discharged on surgeon’s certificate of disability; afterwards, he was pensioned. A communication from Surgeon Isaac F. Galloupe, U.S.V., dated September 22, 1869, states, that the patient received no appropriate treatment until he arrived at Alexandria, where Smith’s Anterior Splint was applied, and the limb kept suspended for nearly four months. The upper posterior cicatrix, as shown in the photograph, represents the wound of entrance; the one below it, the location of the last fistulous opening which closed in November, 1868, after discharging, from time to time, fragments of necrosed bone. The outer scar, in front, indicates the wound of exit; the remaining two, the result of abscesses. Photographed at the Army Medical Museum. By order of the Surgeon General: George A. Otis, Ass’t Surgeon, U.S. A., Curator A.M.M.”
