Matthew Madlin's Injury [Milburn Room]

⁠
Matthew is in the market square in Hexham, when the North Yorkshire Militia open fire upon the assembled crowd, club and bayonet them.
Matthew suffers a bayonet wound to the thigh.
⁠
⁠
⁠
Another family member nearby bandages the wound, and although he has lost a lot of blood, is helped back towards Slaley.
He finds that he has to sleep in the woods for several nights to avoid detection from the militia and he feels changed by his experiences and is probably suffering from some form of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
