Comments: This is the Official History of the NZ Medical Services who worked on the western front, at Gallipoli and in the Middle east.
A fine example of how the job ought to be done. Apart from being a detailed analysis of New Zealand’s medical services on Gallipoli and the Western Front, it is also a mirror of the progress of the Great War in general and its attendant medical and surgical problems and techniques. Of interest to both the general and the specialist reader. The appendixes alone make the book a desirable possession.
They include: nominal roll of Colonial Medical Officers (1845-1860), Roll of Honour (KIA and WIA, WWI only), H&A (WWI only), specifications for the fitment of hospital ships, etc. (20 Appendix sections and sub-sections in total).
