Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides practical advice on how to stay healthy while at war. Its main focus is on hygiene and sanitation to prevent disease in active service. It was written during the First World War by the author, a surgeon who was impressed by the fact that British soldiers lost four times as many men to sickness as they did to enemy action. At the time, soldiers had little to no access to sanitary facilities and little understanding of how diseases were spread. The author provides detailed instructions on how to keep clean and avoid infection, drawing on his experience of treating soldiers in base and general hospitals. He emphasizes the importance of bathing as often as possible and washing any wounds immediately. He also provides advice on how to avoid lice and other pests that can carry disease. The insights in this book proved invaluable in preventing sickness and improving the chances of survival for soldiers on the Western front.
