not only would woman, so trained,

Japan eventually will have to

tual Allied sea and air operations
from forces based at Attu, he said,
and the enemy fleet will be so
disposed it will be almost wholly

First of two articles on battle

BY JACK STINNETT
WARRINGTON, Aug. 27-In the
United States Army medical de-
partment's files here is being writ
ten one of the staggering stories Of
this war-the almost unbelievable
fact that 975 percent of our battle
wounded live to be discharged as
recovered" or to fight again.
Mai. Gen. Norman T. Kirk, sur
geon general of the Army, says this
is due to the improved technique
in medicine and surgery, to sulfa
drugs and such, to the competence
and resourcefulness of the World
War II doctor, but that is only
part of the story.
"Our record in saving lives of
wounded men is, in great part, due
to the excellence of our chain of
evacuation from front to rear" he
says. THE medical corps man is
fundamental link in that chain. ="
He might have said the funda-
mental link. 1t may be sensational
news that more than $4,000 wound
ed were flown by plane from the
battlefields of Tunisia to base hos
pitals-that thousands more were
also flown out of Sicily-but very
few of them would have lived to
be evacuated, if 1t hadn't been for
the men with the scarlet and white
brassards who go with each COM
pany wherever the battle is thickest.
When an assault company moves
up to attack, two unarmed medical
department soldiers go along, to
live, eat, sleep, march, and some
times die with them.
The action has started. A man
is struck Within a few minutes,
the company aid man has run or
crawled to his side. First aid, SO
vital to preserving life, is swiftly
administered. The wounded man
is made as comfortable as possible,
and often his gun stuck bayonet-
first into the ground to mark him
for the litter bearers.
Almost as soon as the company
aid man dashes off to help other
wounded, the stretcher bearers move
in. They take the wounded swift
ly to the battalion aid station-a
few hundred yards from the fight
ing. At the air station, the men
get their first real "doctoring"-
sometimes blood plasma If sur
gerry is vital, it is performed there
In some instances, minor wounds
are treated so quickly that men
may be back with their companies
few hours after they are
wounded.
From there, wounded are carried
to collecting stations by ambulances
or jeeps, and from there to mobile
evacuation hospitals-th tent cit
les where SO many miracles of medi-
cine and surgery are performed.
Frequently, says the medical de-
partment, the men are in these
hospitals within an hour or two
after they are wounded.
