Mystery solved.  Thanks to those who offered suggestions.  In other 
editions of the book the symbol is expanded to {carb}ine, so the surgeon 
seems to have meant that the private was shot by a cavalryman and not by 
infantry.  Now, does anyone with a knowledge of CW era medicine know what 
the symbol that looks like the musical sign for forte might be?
