THE SOLDIER OF THE MEDICAL
* ~ ~ CORPS ~ ~ ~

In this war the army surgeon is
no longer a ministering angel who
does his work in a safe place after
the fighting is over-he is a soldier,
sharing the hardships and the peril
of the troops whom he serves. Mill
tary honors, says the Literary Di-
gest, have been bestowed upon the
medical officers of France and Eng
land, in proportion to the size of the
medical corps, as freely as upon
the line officers. During three years
of war the. British Medical Corps
suffered 1867 casualties with
death roll of 200. The first Ameri-
cans to lay down their lives as part
of United States force at the front
were six medical officers and nurses
who were doing their work of mercy
in an Allied hospital when they were
struck down by bombs from German
air raiders. 1t was not like this in
olden wars, we are reminded by a
communication from the United
States Surgeon-General's office. For
the casualty lists were much smaller,
there was comparatively little field
surgery, and it was much easier to
get away from the firing-zone. In
the Civil war, we are reminded by
the spokesman for the Surgeon G en-
eral of our army:
Little was done toward speeding
up the treatment of the wounded,
except in a few cases that came 10
