The other three staff branches which
all directly touch every soldier are the
Medical Department, Quarterma ster
Corps, and Ordnance Department.
The Medical Department works
along two distinct lines: First, it tries
to keep everyone in the Army in good
health, and for this purpose keeps
close watch OF the cleanliness of camp
and buildings, of the quality and cook
Ing or food, and the like; second, 1t
provides ambulances, hospitals, and
| medical service for the proper care Of
sick or wounded men. The Medical
Department includes the Dental Corps,
the Hospital Corps, and the Nurse
| Corps. It's officers are experienced
physicians who have passed rigid ex
| aminations. Its enlisted men are
| chiefly engaged in the difficult and Of
ten dangerous work of rescuing the
| wounded and transporting them to
| field and base hospitals
Just as every man in the Army car

percentage of recoveries from wounds
in the hospitals manned by Am ericans
during the European War has been

The Quartermaster Corps is the
business manager of the Army. 1t
furnishes food, clothing, and most
kinds Of equipment; provides horses
and mules; arranges for transporta-
ton; takes charge of money!. buys
, supplies; pays troops; and keeps on
hand stores of supplies.
The importance of all this work can
hardly be overstated. Napoleon said

today than it was in Napoleon's time
In modern warfare the scale Of fight

SO tremendous that the duties of the

beyond any previous experience.

% - so
ent war whole armies have been
forced to retreat or have suffered Sc
yerelv because of the lack of NUM-
tons. The quantity Of ammunition
used daily is enormous. During the
French offensive of June, 1917, H.
100000 shots were fired from artillery
guns.
In the actual theater Of war the
ammunition service is under the con-
troll of the field artillery Bringing
up supplies of ammunition to troops
and to batteries in action is one of the
most essential of all duties on the bat
tlefield The wagons or trucks carry
ing ammunition must be driven when
necessary within easy reach OF the fir
ing line. Sometimes there is an OPP
portunity here for the display of re-
sourcefulness and courage far above
the ordinary requiremets of the serv
ice.
At the second battle of Ypres in
April, 1915, the Third Battery in the
Third Brigade Of the Canadian Field
Artillery galloped into positions with

work fighting against overwhelming
odds to hold back the enemy's on

tells how they we're brought:
