HEROIC WORK DONE

BY MEN OF C.A.Ill.C.

Triumphs of Service at

in France.

Great Battles on Front

Wttr tiororspondonts' Headquarters,

iiltirch 16.-it is inthe great battles that you see the heroic side of their work, these officers and men of the t‘,A .l\'I.C. Their work at the second lnittlo oi' Ypres has become a tradi- tion tis glorious as anything in the history of the medical services. That tradition has been maintained. To the oust from Ypres, where blood-stainetl ru~.tds ran out to Wieltje and Potijzc. they crowned a great record in the bitttlcs for Passchendaele. They had tit-_liioved a. wonder of evacuation‘tlur~ ini; the Vimy engagements. After one hurd struggle, the battleground was reported cleared of our dead and wounded by five o’clock in the after- noon. But there the light railways did marvels to assist. There was no such assistance in the bloody beyond or tho grim salient that grew day by titty towards the Passchendaclc ltidigt-__ llcroic road' work was done by tho ciigincers. But the medicai_ history of' the October and November battles is one of mud and slime, of ptttlis that wound between shell-holes, of narrow board walks paid for m blood, of scattered `dugouts. of captur- »~d enemy pillboxes, some of them with thc dead 'of yesterday still waiting i'or burial. ol’ stretcher-bearers and ambtil» ance drivers and doctors who toiled night and day to achieve what history will record as the triumph of the cv- ttt-uation at Passcliendiieie.

~ Labor Under Fire

Doctors died at the doors of their

“hospitals” while tending the wound- cd. 'Others saw their pillboxes swept by enemy shell that exploded almost in the ver ~door. Stretcher-bearers- six to a. stNetcher»-toiled down muddy paths andup board walks for five and six thousand yards under shell fire, where u mis-step might mean a mud- dy death. Those whocarried the wounded often became wounded thein sclvcs before, they reached the advanc- cd dressing station that marked the tirst point of wheeled traffic. There thc ambulances came to help. Dai’ iiftcr day, ‘night after night, ambul- ance drivers cautiously drove their suffering loads along roads that were oitcn broken with shell fire, often marked with dead bodies of horses und mon-always dangerous. And buck at main dressing stations, doc- tors anti men labored hour after hour io case the pain of gallant men and help them back to life. From regi- ‘tieutal aid posts far in the advance arcs to advance dressing stations and from there to the main dressing sta- tions the work was done at night by lump or lantern light or by- the un- certain fitful glare of candies.

Such is the heroic work of the C.

A.M_C. There is another work. 'l‘ltc Ypres salient is the graveyard of sin empire, the graveyard oi' France.

of Belgium and of countless thous- ands. There l\ave»been grim and bloody struggles lierc-the glorious French at Lorette and Souchez. the great British troops in that fateful but momentous battle of Leos which pres- aged the assumption ot' the offensive. the Canadians at Vimy and before Lens. indeed four hundred mlles‘ot` line from the Vosges to the const is it graveyard. One might have expected a plague to have swept it land such as this. ' The world has no precedent for such wiirfarc. War has never be- fore counted its dead in hundreds oi' thousands. There has been no plague. Millions oi' men have lived under ap- palling conditions. Millions of men have been moved along the immense battle front. -lt is as ii’ one took the world’s greatest city and transplantctl London monthly with its people to some new place. Lack ol' sanitation might breed disease that would swccp' thc world. The scourge oi' typhoid might claim its millions wlicro wur has claimed its liundrcds of thous- nuds. Thcrc has been no cpidcmir. 'i‘he medical men have saved human- ity from a cntustroblie which would aptiii even present history.

The Field Ambulance '

Atid the backbone oi’ the medical

services is the field ambulance. Last night the enemy put over a heavy trench mortar barrage on part of our line. .One of our men was severely wounded-his leg broken and his side crushed. He was treated first by the regimental _stretcher-bearers, who are competent men selected from the bat- talion. They baudnged his wounds and bore him to a regimental aid post- iu the support line. Once there, he was altogether in the hands of the C.A.M.C. That regimental aid post was far underground, in a small dug- out with room for scarcely more than half`a. dozen stretchers. Tile wounded man was 'carried by stretcher to a relay post. There untired bearers carried on to the advanced dressing station. Here his bandages were ex- amined. He was thoroughly warmed, given hot drinks, dry sicits and a cig- arette. The stretcher with ite bur- den was then placed in an ambulance. and at five o’clock in the morning the man had reached the main dressing station at the Field Ambulance Heath quarters.

The history of the casualty might

have changed in some essentials in other parts of the line. But the gen- eral system is that the wounded innn gets hisfirst dressing in the trenches. and, if seriously wounded, another at the regimental aid posts. Unlesshc is bleeding or'in evident distress, his bandages are not changed at the ad- vanced dressing station. Here the chief considerations are to make him warm and to send him down to the main dressing station as fast as pos- sible. The casualty does not always go by liand~stretcher to A.D.B. There are portions ol thc line where wheel- od stretchers can be used. There are other portions whore the light tram- wuy draws a hospital train to _tho main dressing station. But the great essentials are warmth, comfort and speed. '

- Three to a Division

There are three field ambulances to

n division-the strength is well known. Each ambulance is composed of three mgggong, any- one of which may he detailed for work as a complete unit. l visited one of those field ambulances today. Now the field ambulance is a mobile, self-contained unit. It does not call for help from the Engineers, save upon occasion. This one had taken over an area which at first was nothing but mud, shell holes and waste. li turned that wilderness to its own purpose by its own labor. lt cleared the ground. it built hospit- als, admission and dressing rooms and _wat-ds. it num quarters for its -men and horses-in addition to its trans- port, there are three horse-drawn am- bulances and seven motor ambulances to a fleitl ambulance establishment. It worked and it-"borrowetl";-and it salvaged until what was a field was transformed. There were no road- ways leading into the ares. The men
