Excerpt from First Aid for the Trenches
It has been demonstrated in previous wars, but especially in the present conflict that the final result of casualties not immediately fatal nor inherently so depends upon the promptness' and the intelligence with which first aid is administered upon the battle field. Relatively few wounds are fatal if they do not kill outright; but failure to take the precautions or to adopt the procedures which experience has shown will prevent complications, notably infection, are the cause of death in many cases that might have been saved. It 1s important that these things be done at the instant of injury, for it is Often several days before the injured can be removed to the rear, where alone it is practicable to perform life saving operations.
