Excerpt from Military Hygiene and Sanitation This short treatise on Military Hygiene and Sanitation is founded on the lectures delivered by me while Professor of Hygiene at the Royal Army Medical College. I have not attempted to deal in detail with all the problems of hygiene, and in particular I have omitted - as, for instance, in the question of house drainage - those which are liberally treated in the ordinary textbooks. In considering the prevention of infectious diseases, also, I have limited myself to those which are most important in war. I have not therefore discussed such ailments as Malta fever and Tuberculosis, for instance, with, which the army is concerned mainly in peace-time, under conditions not differing materially from those which confront the Medical Officer of Health in civil practice. I have to acknowledge much kind assistance from Captain N. Dunbar Walker, Royal Army Medical Corps, who has helped me greatly with suggestions and in the preparation of some of the plates.

Excerpt from Sanitation in War To the attainment of that aim there is one essential condition - the intelligent co-operation of the whole personnel of the field force - and it is upon the knowledge of sanitation possessed by medical officers that this essential condition primarily depends. To the R.A.M.C. officer the sanitary methods of field service are necessarily familiar; the civilian practitioner who serves with the army for the first time finds himself at a grave disadvantage when faced by problems in the solution of which the training provided by the civil medical curriculum affords little assistance. In order therefore to lighten the difficulties of those practitioners who have loyally volunteered their services, a series of lectures dealing with subjects of practical value in war have been organized at the R.A.M. College. The appreciation of those gentlemen who have attended these lectures has indicated that the information thus summarized would prove of value to those who have been unable to attend the various courses arranged. The wider the scope and the more precise the knowledge of medical officers on all matters affecting the health of the troops, the greater will be the measure of success attending their efforts to maintain that fighting efficiency upon which depend to so great an extent the prospects of a speedy and successful conclusion of the war.

Excerpt from The Elements of Military Hygiene; Especially Arranged for Officers, and Men of the Line There can be little or no doubt that the sanitation of the army would be greatly improved if line officers and enlisted men should become more interested in the subject, and cooperate more freely and intelligently with medical officers in the efforts to promote it.
