Excerpt from A Living Machine
The following pages contain the exact words of an address given during the War to nearly a million officers and men at a reinforcement camp near Le Havre on the day before they went up the line. They were afterwards repeated to some A3 men who had just recovered from severe wounds or sickness at command depots on the eve of their return to the fighting units. They are published at the request of several of those who said that they would very much like to be able to recall all that was said to them in that farewell address. The subjects talked about and the language used are not always those used, before the War.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides practical advice on how to stay healthy while at war. Its main focus is on hygiene and sanitation to prevent disease in active service. It was written during the First World War by the author, a surgeon who was impressed by the fact that British soldiers lost four times as many men to sickness as they did to enemy action. At the time, soldiers had little to no access to sanitary facilities and little understanding of how diseases were spread. The author provides detailed instructions on how to keep clean and avoid infection, drawing on his experience of treating soldiers in base and general hospitals. He emphasizes the importance of bathing as often as possible and washing any wounds immediately. He also provides advice on how to avoid lice and other pests that can carry disease. The insights in this book proved invaluable in preventing sickness and improving the chances of survival for soldiers on the Western front. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
