during the first weeks OF the war in
Europe many pitiAble Instances Of
wounded men left on the battlefield for
long hours, he strongly felt the need
Of very considerable additional trained
help to deal with such cases.
The urgent necessity Of immediate as

in many cases long periods, up to five
or seven days have elapsed before the
wounded have received medical aid.
