In "A Study in Scarlet", it was his left shoulder. In "The Sign of the Four", it was mentioned that his leg gave him trouble during inclement weather becasue it had been shot and it gave him a limp. In other stories, it was only mentioned that he had been shot but not where the injury was.

He was wounded in the battle of Maiwand, which took place on 27th July 1880.

He was also wounded in 'The Adventure of the Three Garridebs,' which, most scholars agree, took place in June of 1902.

Both were gunshot wounds.

Watson was wounded in the Battle of Maiwand on 27 July 1880. In 'A Study in Scarlet' it was his shoulder, in 'The Sign of Four' it was his leg, but in 'The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor' Watson curiously writes that the bullet was 'in one of my limbs.' I guess we may never know the true answer in the first instance.

Then, much later in 'The Adventure of the Three Garridebs,' Watson writes the following passage. "In an instant he ['Killer' Evans] had whisked out a revolver from his breast and had fired two shots. I felt a sudden hot sear as if a red-hot iron had been pressed to my thigh."
