Surgery in War

Abstract

THIS handbook is described in the introduction by Lieut.-Col. E. M. Pilcher, R.A.M.C., as a résumé of current practice and experience at the front; and the fact that Sir Alfred Keogh, the Director-General of the Army Medical Service, has written a preface to it stamps it as, at any rate, “semi-official.” It has, therefore, an interest apart from its strictly surgical aspect, and although, as Sir Alfred Keogh remarks, “the views expressed therein may not command assent in every quarter,” they demand careful and sympathetic consideration.
