"This is a dirty war. Gaseous, gangrene, lockjaw, blood poisoning, all dirt diseases... The doctors themselves are suffering more than ever before. More than 125 German doctors have now been killed, out of a force of 9000 at the front. In the Franco-Prussian War out of 4062 doctors in the German only 11 were killed. London 'Lancet' is recording an average of two to three British doctors a week killed, in Flanders, besides great numbers wounded and missing."
Bellow are a few appreciative verses about U.S. Army Doctors. Both the drawing and the prosody appeared in the British trench paper The Better Times (formerly The Wipers Times)
