What Your Bou
Is Doing

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-Men Of
the medical corps are the good Sa-
maritans Of the army.
While ;heir work is practically
Of non-combatant, nevertheless
death rates in the allied armies
have been higher in the medical
corps than in any other branch.
This is largely due TO the fact that
the medical corps man must expose
himself to fire, without protection,
and must always complete his work
before taking cover.
Stretcher- bearers of the medical
corps have the wierd and unpleas-
ant task of securing the battlehelds
for wounded men. Under present
conditions the stretcher- bearers
must leave the trenches at night
after battle and pick their way
through No Mans land" always a
target for sharpshooters. always
searching for wounded. The stretch
err bearers carry their burdens back
10 the front line trenches. Here are
established the temporary dressing
stations. in charge Of commissioned
men and assistants, who may be en-
listed men.
With the work Of the stretcher-
bearers completed, the work OF the
am bulance drivers begins. An end
less train of motor ambulances is
constantly leaving the temporary
dressing stations for the base hos
pitals Medical section men drive
these ambulances and are most
frequently subjected to fire. as they
tear madly along open roads and
through open fields in their haste
20 reach hospitals. where their car
goes Of wounded men may have aid
that will mean life.
Sanitary work is also a part Of
the duty of the medical section man.
Under the direction OF officers they
are detailed to keep up the sanitary
conditions about the barracks and
i'm the trenches
The field OF operations for the
medical section men is wide. IL runs
from the work of an orderly in a
base hospital. where there is no
danger except that OF aircraft fire.
10 the dangerous work Of the
stretcher-bearer
While medical men are nOn-com-
batants they are always close TO the
action. wherever it may be. The
enlisted man in the medical corps
will undou btedly see far more action
than any other branch Of the serv-
ice except the infantry.
The distinguishing mark of the
medical section is the maroon and
white hat cord. The collar insignia
is a staff with entwined serpents.
