Book Description
Excerpt from Medical Services, General History, Vol. 2: The Medical Services on the Western Front, and During the Operations in France and Belgium in 1914 and 1915 HE general scope of the series of volumes dealing with the Medical History Of the War has been indicated in the Preface to the first volume of the General History of the Medical Services. Since the publication Of this in December 1921 the volumes on the Diseases, Surgery and the Hygiene of the War and on Pathology have appeared and the three remaining volumes of the General History have been prepared, although some time must elapse before all these are published. The compilation of the volume on Statistics is being under taken by the Ministry Of Pensions, which is in possession of the necessary data. The present volume, together with the greater part of the third volume of the General History, deals with the Medical Services of the British Expeditionary Force in France and Belgium. It has been compiled almost entirely from the war diaries of medical units, from the Office files and diaries of the Administrative Medical Services, and from the official despatches; but as some of the war diaries are missing altogether and many fail to record facts which are Of import ance in compiling a history, several gaps have had to be filled from personal diaries and information Obtained from various other sources. The war diaries are, in fact, of very unequal value. The most useful have been those which give Sketch maps, details of the position and work of the medical units and changes in organization and policy, but these important details have been omitted in a considerable number of instances. The campaign on the Western Front was characterized, so far as the Medical Services were concerned, by the unparalleled number of wounded who came under their charge. In com piling the history Oi the Medical Services Of this front, it has on this account been considered desirable, after a more general description Of the administrative services and the medical units, to present a detailed account of their strategical and tactical employment in the various battles and phases of the campaign.

Living on the Western Front
Author: Chris WardPublisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441173188
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Living on the Western Front provides a highly original history of the settler experience in Befland ([B]ritish [E]xpeditionary [F]orce land) during the First World War. Using an unusual representational form that involves the stitching together of over a hundred extracts from primary sources, which can then in turn be read either chronologically or thematically, Chris Ward brilliantly depicts a sense of settlers' lives in Great War Belgium, Northern France and Germany. Simultaneously an annal and an anthology of stories, this book tells us about landscapes, sounds, smells, food, journeys, memory and morale in the way that the Befland settlers actually lived and experienced them. The book also challenges popular conceptions of what history writing can or should be. It drags us away from the reassuringly commanding authorial voice of the conventional historical narrative towards an approach that brings a degree of uncertainty and encourages us to experiment with History and its relationship with the past in an exciting and rewarding way.
