There's a mention of this chap in the Archive of The Times, at the end of a long report headlined Pause in the Battle, April 22, 1918: "A curious detail of the casualties is that in one of the base hospitals now there lies in (or at least on) a bed, with other honourably wounded heroes, one Jack the Baboon, the mascot of the South African Brigade. He lost a leg and is wounded in one arm, but he has stood an operation and treatment well and is said to be a most amenable and gentle patient" www.timesonline.co.uk/archive
